snap peas

Although we had a tough spring (i.e., no sun), we have enjoyed a nice harvest of snap peas. 

Here are the snap peas, from humble beginnings to this weekend:
Weeks after Dean helped me plant the seeds into the ground, they were up and running.  The little row in the center left is an attempt of mine to pack a stir fry mix of greens in between the rows of snap peas.  There is also a spring mix to the right that never took - which didn't really matter, as the entire space was to be consumed by snap peas and weeds, so it was impossible to pick out any of the stir fry mix. 
Snap peas have arrived!  They didn't seem at all disturbed by the lack of sun.  A good Portland crop.

Overflowing with bounty.  Next year, I'll make sure my favorite architect designs the structural system.  Bamboo and fishing line was kind of weak.  But, it worked.

We all love to pick them and eat them!
