I Couldn't Help Myself. I had to buy it!

I just had to buy it, not that I needed anymore...

it's about 5.25 inches tall, bottom is about 3 in. in dia. and the top 4.25 in. in diam.

I'm going to go buy a little but of ground cover plants to include with the flowers sitting on the ground. They'll be going into the container sitting on the chair (behind the bucket container).

So, maybe I'll find something to put in the bucket. And I might just have to go buy the last bucket at Joann's (I bought the 2nd to last one).

hahaha. I was waiting for that!

I'm not growing peas. I don't like peas. And I don't like peas, so I didn't grow it. hehehe.

Oh, that is TOO bad. Really try fresh-grown, edible-pod peas at least once. They're NOTHING like canned or even frozen peas. Believe me: I'm a convert myself.

It's the "edible pod" part that makes the big difference. All you have to do is pick the thing off the plant and chew. No shelling, no de-stringing (unless you really want to). Just eat. My DH and I compromised last week when we stripped the plants: I agreed to microwave the peas for 1 minute before putting them into the pasta w/cheese we were having for dinner. Rather than just eat them raw while the pasta was cooking....

He just stares at me now when I make the peas disappear.

Give yourself a chance.
