We have a sizable pea crop coming in at the perfect time, nearing the end of May before the cool-temperature-loving pods get parched in the southwest France June sun. There's lots of peas needing to be picked over a two-three week period, and just at the right moment when the individual seeds are not too little (not enough sugar) nor too big (too much starch). Pea precision. Then they will be processed for freezing. Presently it's looking there will be enough to fulfill all our pea-eating needs for a whole year.
See you next week when the ins and outs of pea whispering will be revealed!
