By all accounts, I am a major disappointment as a vegetable grower. The one plant that gives me a bit of veggie confidence is the simple pea. I add sugar or snap peas to the garden every year and every year they grow and produce loads of peas. Then, almost nothing else that I plant grows much or produces any food. But at least the peas grew.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It should be noted, however, that we don\u2019t eat many of the peas ourselves. Over the last fourteen years we\u2019ve had a pea-obsessed llasa apso dog named Mona Lisa. Every weekday in the summer, as I\u2019m coming home from work, I grab a few ripe peas off the vines and when I get in the door I pass them to Mona and Bodhi who devour them with relish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
