Meteor

The heads of these beauties have been above ground since November last year and have endured the freezing temperatures, snow and ice for weeks. I was keen to have an early crop of peas, to be replaced by a later variety as there never seems to be enough.

You see there are two young mouths that love to devour them straight from the pods on the plants. I don't mind this at all. In fact I keenly encourage the girls to visit the vegetable plot and see what's happening, to help with seed sowing and eating the results. They love it. I find it a trial at times, but I'm keen they both grow up with an appreciation for growing things. That's how I got started. I hope they get the 'bug' and I hope you like it.

Almost forgot, the name of this winter-hardy pea variety is meteor.
