How lovely.

I'm now growing peas just for their shoots, but have never tried the wild. As you note, the ones in our neighborhood are in the roadside ditches and the dirt/exhaust/dog pee gauntlet is not worth running!

Marvelous! Our snap peas are just starting to get fully ripe.

They grow up so fast! You miss a day and they're the size of golden retrievers

I love pea tendrils more than the peas themselves. For me it's the taste of China, so good stir-fried or in soup noodles. Lovely piece as usual - happy foraging!

Love reading your stories centered around my old neighborhood (N Atlantic Street)

It's a great corner of Portland! I love living so close to the bluffs.

It’s been five years? We have been home from NYC for four year but it feels…stuck. Weird! I bet X is glad he’s missing toxic peas for dinner. 😘
