Harvesting Garden Peas and Blackberries on the vegetable patch - and how to store your harvest
It is that lovely time of the year, the first Garden Peas of the summer are being picked! I know, it's not huge news in the grand scheme of things and with all that is going on in this crazy world right now but it is a reason to be cheerful and should be celebrated. This year I am growing Pea Bingo which is a dwarf e arly m aincrop variety growing no higher than about two-and-a-half feet; I have them in some large ornamental stone pots. I sowed the first batch in fibre pots back in March and they were brought on indoors until planted out in late April. A second batch was direct sown at that time, they are coming along nicely finding their way up the pea sticks , and the third batch, that was planned to be sown in May, will be sown this week; a little later than planned but it will prolong the harvest nicely. I have hopefully timed the sowings right and probably will have only a few excess Peas to store. Freezing your Garden Peas couldn't be simpler . Pop your Peas in
