Most of what I grow is for preserving in some form to get us through the year, with the obvious exception of lettuces which are for immediate consumption - though I have dehydrated some in the past.
When it comes to peas though, my number one reason for growing them is simply for snacking on fresh from the garden. Of course, I will preserve my excess in the form of freezing in mason jars and adding to dishes through the year, but eating straight off the plant while out doing my garden chores or just taking a break, is my very favorite way to consume my peas.
What is your favorite thing to munch on straight from your garden?
Hope your day is a beautiful one! ~Heidi
