The crops

These tiny little peas are so delicious. Lady Cream Peas.
You have to shell a lot of them to have enough for a meal.

The left over pods.
If you have not eaten these peas you do not know what you are missing.


Fresh green beans
When the seed catalogs say grow in full sun, they can't be talking about TEXAS heat. The rest of the garden is burnt to a crisp except our squash, watermelon, cantaloupe and few other survivors. Next year we will do things different. We are planning on a raised vegetable garden.

Nothing better than food from the garden. Our garden is just coming up because of the cool spring. Can't wait!!!!!! Now the sun is out it is up and growing fast. I've never heard of Lady Cream Peas either but they look yummy.

My sister sent me an email yesterday telling me about all the fresh veggies they were having for dinner from their garden. Yummy.

Have a terrific day and 4th of July weekend. It's off to the boat for us. :)

Nice pictures. Brought back memories of picking and shelling peas in grandma's garden.

Hey Pam,

I've never heard of Lady Cream Peas, either, but they look delicious. I miss living in the North Georgia mountains, where my neighbors shared their produce with me, & introduced me to things like soy limas, and YELLOW-eyed peas!

Wow, those look great! We hit 100 degrees here yesterday and I thought of you in the hot part of the country!!

I have never heard of them, but the word but the peas and green beans took me back to my grandmother's kitchen as a child...sigh...
