Thanks to the Peas

Today was the last day for our peas in the garden.  They were one of the best veggies this spring, and ended up in almost every one of our dinners.  But, it was time to pull them to make room for some other veggies.
They weren't looking that good anyways.  So I pulled them out, along with the spinach, mustard and leaf lettuce that had been growing under the pea trellis.  All of the greens had gotten unruly, so I was happy to pull them out.  I managed to salvage the netting and sticks for another pea trellis at another point.

Once they were all pulled, a little compost added and potatoes went in.  Although a little late for these guys, they should be ready to go in September.  

From the rest of the pea stalks we were still able to harvest a pretty good amount of peas that we froze tonight for meals in the future when we are missing these little guys.

And more things still growing all the time!

And a look at the garden with peas...
...and a garden without, but soon to be potatoes
