Vegetable Garden

I feel like every year one vegetable seems to stand out in the veggie garden. This single vegetable tends grow the strongest, have an abundant harvesting season and will show a minimal amount of problems. My first year was the year of the corn. My second year was the year of the cucumber. My third was the year of the tomato, and this year has been the year of the peas. I feel like with each season that passes, I learn so much about different vegetables and what makes them grow successfully. I spent a good amount of time picking a huge amount of peas earlier this month. This year, I grew Early Perfection Peas and Sugar Snap Peas. They took off like crazy and grew up my large wooden trellis. Just when I thought I'd picked them all, I would find at least ten more pods I missed! I love snacking on Sugar Snap Peas while I'm out in the garden, they hardly ever make it inside the house. My favorite thing about peas is they are extremely easy to grow from seed. If you are a seed newbie, I highly recommend planting some. I find they do best with direct sow, and I really enjoy observing how quickly they grow.
