Pea Sprouts!

Little green seedlings are emerging from the dirt already!

As they get bigger, I want to keep a photo record of them here to track their growth and admire them 🙂 They’re really cute and I’m happy that we may have peas this year!

Update May 14, 2012:

It’s happened! I have finally grown my first crop of peas, after making attempts to do so since 2006. This year is the year it happened, that the weather was right, the soil and pot size perfect, and I knew enough to remove aphids and protect the plant.  I ate the first peas I ever grew myself this past weekend!!! Thank you for following along this photo journal to witness the peas’ growth with me.
