I thought I was too late planting my snow peas and that they would die in the heat before managing to produce anything, but instead I have the first pods on the vine now! I also have the zucchini and squash on the verge of production and some cherry tomatoes at the flowering stage.

They are also really good as a fresh refrigerator pickle. You can just make up a pickling mixture (about 50/50 vinegar and water, plus some salt, sugar and spices to taste, boiled then cooled) and keep it in the fridge, then add excess snow peas as you get them. Because itās not cooked they stay crisp and crunch and they last for ages, and you donāt have to have them all available to process at the same time. They work well with a cheese board or just as a snack on their own, or could be cut up to put in salads etc.

It has been, it makes it hard to tell what is happening because the seasons are weird and what is happening because of my erratic/new gardening.
