The ONLY way to get my kids into the garden is to tell them that there are 
peas ready. The peas never make it into the house. I have to get my share 
before the kids get there. I wonder how many I'd have to plant to actually 
get enough to cook for dinner, or maybe even freeze? Maybe next year I'll 
plant rows and rows of peas instead of corn. I can buy good local sweet 
corn, but can't buy good peas.
