My First Snap Pea!

Every morning I check on the garden to see if anything has changed. I have always heard "a watched pot never boils", and I was starting to believe it.

Imagine my surprise when I walked outside this morning! Growing out of the center of a perfect white flower is a sugar snap pea! An edible gift from the garden! And there are three more sugar snap peas developing on this plant. I am so excited I could burst.

My only regret is that this plant was not grown from a seed I planted. I will keep watching the baby pea plants I started from seed and see if they flower anytime soon. It would be great to make a meal out these yummy little peas.
