a small victory
using my hands to plant peas
as they fought spring snow
as they outgrew me
using my hands to pick peas
during quarantine
they made two harvests
using my hands to shell peas
a small victory

I’m freezing peas today as well. It’s been SO hot and dry, they won’t last much longer. I pick them in the mornings and then shell them indoors during the worst heat of the day, which gives me a welcome break. The very end of this month, I’ll plant “Wando” peas, which will do well in the heat of August as long as I water, and give me a nice harvest just as autumn begins to think of turning to winter. Which variety did you grow?
I don’t know the variety. They were just in baggies given to me by a friend. I cleared out all the peas plants today to make room for the tomatoes and zucchini.
