Peas? Please!

I NEVER understand it when someone tells me that they HATE peas.  It's like someone telling me that SUGAR is something they would never put in their mouth.  Well, as I always say, it's what you grow up with.  If peas came in a can for them....well maybe I get it.  Uhh...mushie mess! (and I feel that way about 95% of CANNED veggies!  But if they EVER ate them frozen or better yet fresh...or even better yet....picked, shelled, and consumed right there in the garden....I KNOW I wouldn't ever hear that!  PEAS are amazin' little green balls of sugar!  How could you not like them?  Ah well, I guess I can't convince EVERYONE....but give me the benefit of the doubt.  For less than $2 you can buy a package of seeds.  Mine were set today, in one of those half barrel plastic pans (designed to sit atop a half barrel so you don't have to fill the whole thing.) My pans just sit on the ground.  I had one in under a butterfly bush that I hadn't used in a while (the PAN, not the bush silly!), because a few of those 'escapee' plants I talked about were in residence.  I transplanted the 3 strawberry plants that had taken up residence, added a bit more container mix and planted a couple dozen seeds around the perimeter of the pan.  The ones I planted were a snap pea (means you don't have to get the peas OUT of the pod...you just eat the pod and all!) that need support. We'll talk about support for the vines next time.  If you plant in the ground.....make a row....in the east to west direction....and plant in the ground as per instructions on the packet.  Dig that area at least 12 inches deep first, removing all rocks.  Rake smooth and then lay your seed on the soil surface.  Push into the soil with your finger, cover the holes with more soil and press down gently.  If the soil was dry, give the area a drink.
