The peas have grown tall and started producing pods. There should be enough sugar snap and snow peas to have a stir fry and also freeze some for later.

Jimmy Watering the Garden
Almost everything has been planted now. I just have green beans and cucumbers left to direct-seed. Also, I’m trying a little chin beard, but I’m undecided on it. I think I’m going to let it get a bit longer and see how it looks then.
