Pea picking

Ryan and Fionn spent a good deal of time this summer standing in front of various pea beds stripping them clean of their fruit…. it was one of the only ways to get them to stand still if we had to get a (very quick) job done in the garden. They love picking, opening (with their teeth mostly) and gobbling the peas inside. They do get a bit confused between round pods that need to be opened and sugar peas that you eat whole (pod and all)… so have given up trying to stop them chewing the whole pod – they like it  and doesn’t seem to do them any harm… and who am I to challenge a two year old doing something that they like?
