Sweet Peas

“We lived very simply – but with all the essentials of life well understood and provided for – hot baths, cold champagne, new peas and old brandy.” ~ Winston Churchill
“It suddenly struck me that that tiny pea, pretty and blue, was the Earth. I put up my thumb and shut one eye, and my thumb blotted out the planet Earth. I didn’t feel like a giant. I felt very, very small.” ~ Neil Armstrong

Beautiful pics
Oh what bee-yoooooooootiful pics! I can eat peas any day in any form, and I LURVE them fresh and raw! I repeat, what gorgeous photos!
Amazing!
I enjoyed the photos here. They are awesome. We have a field near where we live – they were filled with peas. Soeren and I loved riding down with our bikes and simply spend a few minutes picking them and munching on them. Unfortunately when we came back from our vacation we were very disappointed to see that they had all wilted and had not been harvested in time. Shame!!
Nice pictures Bee. Viji
wonderfull pictures!
You wanna know what’s really good? Pea shoots. I just discovered this vegetable last year and now I’m hooked!

Absolutely gorgeous pictures. Are peas hardwork? Do you need to build them a support?
Very easy to grow either from seed or from a sapling (from the nursery). The green arrow we got as saplings and the other two were from seed. It’s a creeper, so doesn’t really require support if you let it spread on the ground and you have plenty of space. We put in some bamboo stakes to prevent them from spreading on to other veggies. Check out http://www.growingtaste.com for more info. –Jai
The pictures are amazing!!!
So pretty!!! We’ll have to say ‘Pretty peas’ from now on instead of ‘Pretty Please’

Your exercise in gardening optimism is certainly paying off. Great, great pics.

Hello Jai and Bee – I am reaching out to you as I am hoping to use your gorgeous pea images.
My fiance and I are starting the Living Seed Company, an heirloom organic seed company, and one of our
featured seeds for this new season is the Green Arrow. We loved your images and would appreciate being able to feature them. In return, we will send you a set of our Founders Collection of 22 varieties of rare and heirloom
organic seeds.
We would also be interested in knowing if you have any other images that may work for our blog.
We appreciate your time and look forward to hearing from you!
In gratitude,
