Friday vegetable blogging

Here's a new feature of Deep Blade Journal—Friday vegetable blogging. Something has to break up the utter seriousness of this thing, so for the next two or three months, readers will get a neighborhood garden progress report. Kevin Drum, when he was Calpundit, used to have Friday cat blogging. I used to enjoy that, so I'm loosely basing this on his old bit.

Today's story is about snap peas. Lots of cool, damp weather has driven my behind-the-garage pea planting crazy this year.  Plus, I installed a much-improved climbing fence back in May. I've never had them so tall and strong—they're starting to keel over at the top from the weight of the fruit.
