Posted in The Vege Patch

Today I picked my very first vegetables that had ripened. I grew the courgette plants from seed, and the peas as well. Here is the first courgette - we're going to have them coming out our ears soon. I have about 8 plants and all are doing really well.

And I went out and just picked a big handful of peas. We'll have them with our dinner tonight. It looks pretty pathetic, and I am hoping for more, but it's so satisfying to know I grew them from seed and they're organic. I know exactly what I'm putting into my children's mouths tonight.

I love looking at the full pod just before I scoop out the peas. They're so pretty!
