Marcella, you are very interesting. I have picked my chinese peas..wonderful tasting...we didn’t cook them. I made a dip and had them with his beer and my champaign.(harrumph! my spell check doesn’t know how to spell champaign or chinese)
My raised gardens are empty this year...all my time has been spent with the Community Garden and hubby’s illness. But the little I’ve done in my syrup pots and styrofoam pots are doing great. Squash is coming on, tomatoes are green and pretty, carrots are ??? still little fuzzy leaves. My weeping rose is gorgeous. The rest of the yard looks like something happened back there.

“Marcella, you are very interesting.”

Ahh, definition of “interesting”: arousing curiosity or attention: arousing curiosity, attracting or holding attention, or provoking thought.

Hmm, perhaps you think I'm nuts about growing, therefore “interesting”. Or I'm “arousing your curiosity” because you have no idea what crazy thing I will do next about growing. Or I'm “provoking thought” about what you might do not to end up like me. :o) :o)

Tell me about your chinese peas. I want those kind of peas, maybe they are called “sugar peas?” I'm talking about the kind to use in stir fries. Is that what your chinese peas are? If so, are they heirloom? Are they climbing vines or bush peas?

I have to make choice about peas - I really like every kind of pea. I want a spring garden and a fall garden based on which plants are the best to provide the most nutrients to keep a body alive. Plus, I like peas so much, I want them whether they are superior in keeping someone alive or not.

So, could you tell me more about your chinese peas?

It's okay if you find me “interesting” as I know I'm “not normal”, I'm a little different than most people. The thing is, I don't care. I started reading at age three and don't know how that happened but I read the encyclopedia and big dictionaries and thought words were wonderful. I've been learning every day since then. I will figure out this gardening stuff, too. :o)
