We went pea picking today. It was an impromptu field trip that led to a really cool time. Hubby's friend was getting ready to tear down his conch peas and his black eyed peas, but still had pods on the plants. He wanted to know if hubby wanted to go by and pick them. Hubby called me and a field trip was born. Once we saw the incredible amounts of bugs that the pea plants had attracted, the big girl decided she was not picking. I'll post the bug picture we got and you really won't blame her. She was then in charge of picture taking. I look up after a few minutes of picking and this is what she's taking pictures of-herself. I love her.
This is just one of the many we got. The boy always has to play around. He is pretty cute.
The baby was actually very brave around the bugs. She is scared of dragon flies of all things. I tell her as long as she isn't a mosquito or small fish, she was ok. The dragon flies won't eat her. It doesn't work, but I keep trying. But today she went into the midddle of the garden where all the scary looking bugs are and picked away. Go on with it, baby. I'll go pick up a ham and some Dr. Pepper to cook it with and throw it into the crockpot with our peas. We had a great time. We've been blueberry picking and now pea picking. If we could only find that money orchard, we'd be set.
Have a great day.

Great idea!!! If you find a money orchard I'll even pick up your whole family and drive us ALL over there together!!!! Must say, we've never done the pea picking thing. Even if we did go, you would wind up with them all as none of my kids will eat them ;)
I love peas, have never had conch peas, but who knows. The only bad thing about peas is the shelling. But I like to get a good movie and just shell away. I just put them in a pot cover with water and add a couple slices of bacon, salt & pepper to taste. Just don't let eh peas dry out and burn. A big pot of cornbread and life is wonderful!! love.............
with peas and cornbread, a slice of onion, who needs the money tree? Love.............
Mermie,
They are a lot like black eyed peas, maybe just a little mealier. Still good and like them the same way I cook black eyed.
Love you, too
