Actually, I believe a particular chipmunk got most of the harvest. I hate to admit that this happened yet again, but at least this year they left enough for me for seed. I had the plants stored in a safe spot, in the workshop. Next year I shall thresh the peas as soon as they are harvested, and not wait for a more convenient time. Thankfully, I still have peas from previous good years.
Dry peas are so easy to grow, and good to eat a reliable grower in short seasons, too.
Just don t forget to take into consideration the smaller critters who love them, too. And tomato sauce until I ran out of jars. It s good to have a year like that once in awhile. Makes up for all those years we have to bring green tomatoes inside to ripen in order to get red ones. Early Chatham and Earlirouge continue my mainstays and favorites.
