Posted - Jun 16 2009 : 4:59:01 PM Thanks Teresa Sue! What would you say is big enough? I always seem to miss that magical moment and they are either immature or woody :( I have 3 rows of peas this year and am hoping to be able to freeze some. But I don't want to freeze woody peas.

Posted - Jun 16 2009 : 10:56:08 AM Gee Alee, how long were you gone? (he..he..he..!!) Seems to happen when we aren't looking huh? Just like with our kids. One minute they're newborns, the next, they're taller than WE are!!! (At least MINE are! I know your little one has a ways to go yet) --- Enjoy those peas! ~~~ Tracy
