The most successful thing in my vegetable garden this summer was the peas, that grew when I spread pea straw around the strawberry plants. The kids will grab a bowl and help themselves. They tell me the peas are for dinner, but very few of them make it all the way to the kitchen.

As you can see the pumpkins are making their slow march across the lawn. With peas almost finished, our next trick will be pumpkin spotting.
