Snow peas

We love snow peas. They are great fresh or in a stir fry and our two-year old loves to pick and eat them. Every day for the last few weeks we have gone on a "pea hunt" with her. 
stuck about a dozen four-foot bamboo sticks into the soil around the pea plants to provide support for upward growth. The plants grab onto the sicks and fill out the space nicely. Though the sticks aren't required for the plants to grow, it allows them more air and sun, and it looks nice too. We planted these after the last frost, around the end of April. Peas do well in cooler whether and we will plant again at the end of summer for a fall harvest.
