I love fresh garden vegetables and I have fond memories of shelling peas with my dad on our back porch (he LOVES peas). If I'd had any idea that June would be so wet and mild, I'd have planted peas when I first set up my garden. I figured I'd missed the best planting season for peas, however, so I thought I would wait until the end of summer to try. Lucky for me, I have super nice neighbors who brought over a bucket of
peas from their garden and so, the shelling began. It took a little while, but in the end I had a nice bowl full of peas. I used some for this super yummy Peas and Potato Salad, and blanched and then froze the rest for later. I'm so glad I got over the whole "I-only-eat-corn" phase of my childhood! The world is full of delicious vegetables and I'm so glad when people share. Hopefully someday I'll get good enough at the whole gardening shtick to be able to share peas with my neighbors too.

Those peas were wonderful! And the salad was a enjoyable new taste. Thanks again for having us over. We had a great time.
Looks yummy. I love fresh peas.
I shelled peas today, myself!!! A happy moment for Valerie and I as she learned right along side how to 'pop' them open. I'm glad you have such nice neighbors!
