Pea Shoots

Off to a late start due to a lack of planting space, the peas are now coming up in our new raised beds, built by my husband, Evan. Sauteed pea shoots are one of my favorite dishes at our local Chinese restaurant, but I'll resist eating them!

They send out delicate little tendrils that wave in the wind until they find something to grab onto.  

 I have to keep an eye on them daily, though, or they easily grab onto their neighbors instead of climbing the trelis.  Once they wrap themselves around another plant several times, there's no separating the two without hurting someone!
