There's nothing quite like peas straight out of the garden. I have never tried
stir frying them because they take quite a while to cook, unlike other fresh
garden veggies that are best a little crunchy. I gave up on gardening because
it was too much work to keep the weeds down, so I now have to buy fresh peas at
the market. I find them very expensive an a lot of work for the few peas that
you get in a basket. Now that I have more time on my hands , it may be time to
try my hand at gardening again.
