It seems all those encouraging words from Aoife ("grow peas, grow!") worked! Each day, Aoife and I go out and eat ourselves some peas straight from the garden!
We've had some very hot days lately. Fortunately, Aoife has volunteered to be the official popsicle taster at our house. That's very brave of her, since I am constantly making up new creations to freeze. So far, all but one has been a success!!
