Peas

Peas are one of my all time favourite vegetables. I have childhood memories of stealing peas from our neighbors patch (sorry!). Small wonder, peas was the first crop I planted for myself in the garden.
This year, I've planted two different varieties. One was supposed to be about 150cm high (now measuring around 250cm!) while the other should stop around 75cm.
The tall ones was planted first and has for about two weeks provided us with large pods with delicious peas. The second batch has just started flowering and I hope they will bear fruit before winter sets upon us (which is in about two-three months, so there is hope).
A pleasant side effect is that the plants, leaves, pods and peas are great photo subjects. If the wind doesn't blow too much...
