My boyfriend claims that I’m the only person in the world to be excited about peas, but how could I not be since I grew them all from seed? My question is about harvesting them. I plan on freezing them immediately, can I just freeze them or do they need to be blanched before freezing [...]

It was leafing out beautifully with new growth and appeared to be surviving wonderfully. Now I found it lying right next to its stump with [...]
