Home grown Beans and snap peas! YUM!

The lettuce is long gone from the Carondelet Garden, but here come the beans and sugar snap peas. Big Guy was not keen on getting another bean plant as we had an epic failure last year, but I found a healthy plant @greenscapegardens_stl. I was assured by the gardener working there that the plant was a winner and would produce a lot of beans. Plus, it had Kentucky in its name so my neighbor would approve of it as well.

I am happy to say we did get a bumper crop with our sugar snap peas starting to come in now. I have already been adding them to the last of my frozen soups to enhance the flavors and give it a little of summer love.

I plan to blanch the remainder of the beans and peas for the freezer. I loved that I could grab them out of the freezer throughout the fall and winter to add to my recipes.
