Jay has a very green thumb (as opposed to my very black one), and every year he religiously plants a variety of yummy fruits and veggies in our yard for us to enjoy. This year we have corn, artichokes, onions, peppers, tomatoes, spinach, lettuce, and peas. In the past we've also has zucchini, squash, strawberries, and watermelon. No matter what goes in, the favorite around here is always the peas. It has surprised me every year to watch Cody, who won't touch peas with a ten foot pole when I make them with dinner, devour pea, after pea, after pea out in Daddy's garden. This year Emma joined in the pea picking and eating, and also couldn't seem to get enough. I guess there's just something about picking 'em, shelling 'em, eating 'em, and throwing the pods on the ground, that is irresistible to children and adults alike.
