Every spring I plant some kind of vine on our alley-side chain link fence. The last 2 years morning glories climbed the fence. But this year I thought I'd try peas. They've been climbing like crazy things and last week Matt and I added some bamboo sticks with twine tied to them to extend the climbing area up about 4 feet.
The fruits (or vegetables, as the case may be) of our labor have started to emerge. I saw our first peas this morning. They taste as good as they look and I can't wait for the bumper crop to come in!
As a little extra bonus there was a little white butterfly flitting around the peas. He was about the same size as the pea blossoms. Very sweet!
