Bam! Wait, I Mean… Peas!

Last Friday our dwarf pea plants were four feet tall and they had beautiful little white flowers all over. Two days later, almost every one of the flowers was sporting a 3″ pea pod.

I’d never seen anything grow so fast. If only the rest of our garden kept such a pace.

The beets are too small to eat just yet, but the leaves really are just like red spinach. Tonight we had our first salad made entirely of greens from the yard.

Our neighbor’s tomatoes are very large and already producing many small green fruits. Ours are still less than a foot tall and only the largest of them is flowering. From what I gather from talking to him, I brought the plants outside too soon. They also don’t get nearly as much reflected heat and light as his plants since his are about four feet from his yellow house.
