I LOVE snap peas. The only problem is that often it takes a long time for me to harvest enough for dinner because I can't find the little buggers. They are so well camoflouged that it takes a good eye to distinguish them from the leaves. I found a solution. Purple (well, the packet calls them blue, but I think they are purple) peas! The flowers are beautiful, and it is obvious where the silly peas are! And they taste good too! The variety I found is called
Blue Podded Blauwschokkers Garden pea. I planted them in Late July so that I would have a autumn harvest. Often I don't plant peas for the autumn. By the time June rolls around, I have eaten so many I am sick of them, but this year was all about moderation, so now I am a very happy pea eater! Stir fry for dinner! Yum!
