Snap!

pisum sativum

This pretty little flower is a promise. 

A promise of sugar snap peas. 

That's a pretty sweet promise.

I made mention of them in an earlier post.  It's nothing short of a miracle (the miracle of mother nature) that these guys made it past the strawberries.  But they did.  And they are now growing quite rapidly.  I've strung up hemp line to help them skyward. 

Actually, truth be told, I originally put up the line to keep Maya out of those beds and away from the strawberries.  Last year I ate only one berry, and really only a handful of them grew.  But those remaining four were 'picked' by Maya.  She was as good as she could be about it - she brought each and every one of them in to me to share. 

Aw.  So sweet.

She really is sweet.

Like sugar snap peas! 

Mangetout!
