It seems like only days ago that I noticed the first flowers on the bush peas, then suddenly there were peas. And they totally caught me by surprise. I don't know why, but I imagined it would be weeks longer before the peas grew. How satisfying after various setbacks involving earwigs, slugs, snails, and other unsolved mysteries (like the beets germinated, but they are totally stalled out, almost no growth beyond the first set of leaves. Why?).
The peas are the second harvest (I picked two today, just for a taste), but the first was actually last week, and I didn't manage to post pictures at the time. I snipped off some lettuce, picked one radish, and some of the first
borage leaves (the
borage, by the way, is going great
gadzooks now, happily blooming flower after flower). I put it all together into a simple yet totally satisfying salad.
