Your peas look delicious and are wonderful first harvest. I remember when our daughter was little and freely grazing in the garden. Thanks for memory!

I believe these were the type I tried last year. I liked them much better than “regular” peas. Good cooked with melted butter and salt. Thanks for sharing at A Humble Bumble 🙂
