I just stepped out to my garden during my brief lunch-break and found my first snow pea! Hurrah! I love these so much. Our local supermarket sells them…from ZAMBIA! This seems completely crazy to me when they are so easy to grow here in NZ…it makes no sense importing veges from this far away…absolute madness.
I’m growing a mixture of Yates Snow Peas – Climbing and saved seeds. Best eaten before the peas mature in the pod, I treat myself (and my husband if he’s lucky!) to these when I’m out gardening but of course most find their way into our meals especially in Asian dishes. I have also made amazing salads using these par-boiled and raw and also use them in Mexican dishes…We have oodles of flowers over all the plants, so hopefully in a few days, I can harvest sufficient for our first meal! (This one didn’t even make it into the house!)
