Im a 'Bigga' fan of pea shoots!

A while I go I watched Alys Flower's programme Edible Garden and she showed you a really cheap way of growing pea shoots that you can cut for salads!

The boys thought I was mad!

After a little bit of persuasion I had the helping hand of the wee one.
After a few weeks...........

We actually had our first batch in a herby salad with the first BBQ of the year which was so delicious as they were really young, tasting of sweet yummy peas. If you can, try to eat them at this stage and not later but all the same they still taste amazingly!

Enjoy!

p.s. I completely forgot to say what or how we did it! Basically you push them into moist compost, quite a few at a time and jut keep watering them. Let them grow (takes a couple of weeks) and reap the benefits! Eat them young as they come up and then sow some more!
