Snowpeas Galore!

Our first picking of snow peas:


Here come Catherine and Dominic. What have they been doing?

Look at that teamwork! What is in the bucket, kids?


Look, Mom, we picked some snow peas!



Then another day, the four older kids and I picked the snow peas (while trying to keep Anthony pacified sitting in the stroller) and this is what we got:



While everyone else was napping (except for cranky boy Anthony, I carried him in one arm the whole time!), Catherine and I blanched the snow peas and put 6 bags in the freezer. She was a great help.

Then all the recent rainy weather hit. It rained and it rained, and the garden was too muddy to get into. So the snow peas sat. Finally this past Saturday, Dan pulled up all the snow pea plants and then he and the kids picked them over. We got a whole sink full of snow peas. They sure are yummy!
