i've found that fresh peas are basically impossible to buy, so i figured they would be a good thing to grow myself. the only problem is, you can only really grow about a handful of peas, so you might as well just eat them as you pick them since you will never have enough for a whole meal. i'm looking forward to their death so i can use that space for something else. you can eat the pods on one of these, but not the other. can you guess which?
