     i don't think we have much for winters any more   
   we've hardly had to shovel snow, both of us need   
   the exercise.  all winter we stand by the window   
   with the shovel in our hands just hoping for some   
   real action.  j/k...  :)

     i had a good pea season this year, but i didn't have   
   enough room and should have only planted a few varieties   
   instead of a bunch all packed into a small area.   
      
     i didn't plant any late season peas, i've just never   
   had all that great luck with them turning out to be all   
   that edible so i'd rather save the seeds for the next   
   season instead.
