Lol apologies Beth ❤️ #GivePeasAChance I loath Broccoli it plays hell with my IBS and even if it's touched food and taken away from it, it still has the same effect! Feel like I've been punched in the stomach when I've stupidly eaten it being clever.

We may not get peas in our time. But we’ll get peas in their time, and that’s sufficient. 🙏

All this talk of peas on #RadMac has given me a hankering, so I'm having fish fingers, chips, and mushy peas for my tea. I know how to live, me.

We’ve got peas!!!!!!!

I planted two different kinds- one purple variety & one that’s supposed to have 13 peas per pod. I’m thinking these are going to be the 13 ones? #Garden #GivePeasAChance #AllThat #vegetables #SmallGarden #TheOutPost #VictoryGarden #Grow
