Everyday::The Harvest

happy farmer

Today we harvested our pea sprouts we planted a couple of weeks ago.  I’m assuming this is when you eat pea sprouts because I honestly have no idea but I’m pretty sure if we continued to wait we’d soon have peas… 

These  guys got thrown into our shrimp stirfry for dinner.  If I don’t post for a couple of days, send help, I may have poisoned the family by eating these things.   Or maybe that white mouldy looking stuff on some of the seeds is deadly…

Total aside, I do enjoy how a series of photographs like this can paint me as this super Mom that should be featured in a magazine article -  Mom Feeds Family With Pea Sprouts Planted on Window Sill.  When in reality this harvesting took about 45 seconds and I spent most of the afternoon lying on the couch reading a book.  In my own defence, I did the laundry too. AND made dinner (which took about 20 minutes, but hey!  Dinner!  Served!).

   so far everyone is alive and kicking! Although Claire has a nasty diaper rash… but I don’t think we can blame a pea sprout.

   It was/is a lot of fun for Callum. He spritzes the things everyday and showed everyone who walked in the door. He thinks they’re tomoatos though. They’ve been under our seed lamp (and by seed lamp I mean an old flourescent that we found in the shop when we moved in and this huge plywood contraption Steve threw together).

   Yummy! Maybe they will last long enough to go outside and become peas. He does look like he feels he has accomplished something important. Which he has! Not everyone can be a farmer!
