I’ve been apprehensive about getting fruit trees. Because of the placement of utilities and existing trees on the property, it’s difficult to find good spot so I should stick to containers. The prospect of keeping something alive in a container for many years is a daunting task. This morning I got some confirmation that I’m doing something right with the citrus trees. I found some new growth on the Satsuma.

As I was thinning out some of the snow peas, I remembered that young pea shoots are edible. So instead of throwing the trimmings back on the bed, I decided to save them for a lunch salad! These have a nutty, slightly sweet taste that I can’t get enough of.
