Two peas in a pod...

Garden update!!!! I have been watching the plants grow and grow and slowly we've been starting to see veggies take off. We will have plenty of tomatoes when the time is right and our pea pods are coming along great as well. As you may remember our pea pods were snacked upon by the lovely wildlife we like to call Bambi and Thumper.
We planted the peas for Brent. He remembers going over to his grandparents garden when he was little, picking the pea pods and eating them right out of the garden. As I watched the pea pods mature I couldn't wait for Brent to take Mallory out the garden and pick peas together. The pea pod got big enough and Brent, like 9 month pregnant woman, said "I think it's time". We told Mallory before we went out in the garden that there were pea pods ready to pick and that her and daddy got to pick them and eat them! She was beyond excited--it was so cool to see her telling grandma and grandpa that she was going to pick the peas and eat them. Out we ventured to the garden...enjoy the rest in a photo essay...
