For Saturdays dinner I harvested all the peas that were ready and ended up with 11oz of peas. I don't really have the space to grow a lot of peas so they are always low yielding. With my 4' row I usually end up with two pickings with each one being enough for one meal. They are certainly worth the space though as fresh peas are so sweet. Previously I hated peas until I tried freshly hulled ones and now I am converted. These peas were boiled for a couple minutes and tossed in butter and S&P. The second picking will be made into a Pea Risotto which should make it into Thursdays Garden Meal if they are ready in time.
