More Peas, Please!

Also, in my garden are peas.  Or perhaps, I should say there should be peas.

The day that the first little pod showed his green crispy head, I yelled out with joy, to all that could hear.  The peas are here!  That was my downfall...  The ears that this exclamation fell on are 4 and 2 years old.  And LOVE peas.  Being as young as they are, they are very short on the patience virtue.  So every day, they go into the garden to pick the peas.

Thus far, the longest pea (pod) I have come across is about 3 inches long, and still too immature to actually have peas in it!  Due to aforementioned 2 and 4 year old feasting on pea pods. 

I know I should not complain too much about a few toddlers fetching their own snacks during the day, and those snacks being the organic vegetables in our garden, however, I would like to at least have enough peas at some point this season to have with a meal, maybe some chicken with it?  maybe even enough just to sprinkle into a pasta salad.  At this rate, it seems like that is just a dream I have. 

Meanwhile...I say...let them eat peas.
