Came home to find the family unit busy harvesting some of our first crop of Alderman peas. The 'Wall of Peas' has come to full fruition, the 6' trellis is covered top-to-bottom with pea vines, which are now showing quite a few mature pea pods. The kids had a great time picking these and then shelling them inside. We had to stop Tavish from eating most of them, but eventually got them all blanched and into a vacuum-sealed bag and tucked away in the new chest freezer in the garage. We should be able to harvest for the next several weeks, as we planted seeds three weeks apart this spring.
