Un - pea - lievable!

Our peas are just enormous this year.  The stakes (that you can barely see) are three feet tall.  The pea plants themselves are nearly as tall as I am.  I'm hoping pod production is as bounteous as leaf production.  lol.


In other garden news, peony flowers are a bit hard to come by in our yard this year.  We moved two of the plants last year and they are currently pitching a hissy fit about the whole ordeal - i. e. refusing to bloom.  This one bloom on a plant that didn't get moved, though, almost makes up for the deficit...


And in the good news, bad news department...the miniature mock-orange is really blooming its head off this year.  Bad news is that these blooms have almost no fragrance.  Further proof that you can't have everything, I guess.
