They may look small, but let me tell you, these were the most exciting thing to happen to me all week!

I couldn't believe that when I thought I had only two peas on all the vines, I moved some things around and there were these lovely fellows. At that point, they weren't quite so plump.

A few days and some good waterings later, they filled out nicely to these lovely, full pea pods. The best part about sugar snap peas is the crunchy pod, so I was glad to see they were meaty and waxy - sure signs of moist beans.

We had company, so I actually dissected each bean so we could all have half of one, but I was so pleased with my half bean! They were sweet, oh man. And Crunchy! Yum yum, I can't wait for the rest of them to grow grow grow!
