    We got snap peas for days, our editable flowers are blooming, squash and pumpkins are flowering, green beans are coming along. I can’t take any credit for it (except for the raised beds I made a few years ago), my SO has the green thumb!

    She plans to do another round of peas in the fall.

      Snap peas are so good! Hopefully those squash and pumpkin produce well! I’ve yet to get an appreciable amount of beans past pest pressure. Rabbits seem to love the taste of bean seedlings.

        Funny, we have a lot of bunnies in the yard and yet they survive! They are very good AND best of all the kids love them. LOL we were out watering the other day and our 2yo walked up to a snap pea and bit it right off the vine.

          My kids absolutely loved when I told them they could just grab snap peas and eat them off the vine. It’s been a few years since then, but I don’t think more than one or two pods ever actually made it into the house.

          It’s a pretty magical thing to learn as a child. Food doesn’t just come from the supermarket. You can grow it yourself. I like to sneak in the anti-capitalism wherever I can.
