I just had to share with y’all.
That’s right, the sugar snap peas are blooming. Finally.
I guess if there’s a moral in here somewhere, it would be something like, “Patience, young grasshopper.” And if I were really on top of things, I’d have a brilliant photograph of a grasshopper to go along with the shot of the pea blossom.
But I don’t. It’s just me and the flower. Still, very exciting if you look at it from the right angle.*
All right. That’s all. Y’all can go back to your regularly scheduled Saturdays now.
*If you have no clue what I’m talking about, you may want to review the previous post related to the peas’ progress, entitled, appropriately enough, “slowpokes.”

Hooray! Hope there are more where that one came from!
Gardening really makes you appreciate the little things, doesn’t it?
Kathy´s last blog ..It’s Been 40 Years?
Kathy, there are already three more buds. It’s like a party in the pea patch all at once.
Yay! Here’s to many more pea blossoms!
Curbstone Valley Farm´s last blog ..Changing Chicks
I’ll toast to that!
Whoo hooooooooo!
My pea plants are *finally* producing actual peas, which is (I think) late for California.
Lisa´s last blog ..Our Taylor Made Hive, part one.
Lisa, can you believe I thought I’d be eating peas by early April, based on the seed packets? Just shows, when you grow something for the first time, you have a steep learning curve ahead of you — although that doesn’t preclude it being fun. Let us know when you harvest!
ohhhh this is so wonderful! please let me know how they are, when they are ready. : )
XO
Oh, you know I will, Christina. I will probably not want to eat those first precious few, but just stare at them for hours, LOL.
Yay!!!!
Alisha´s last blog ..My first Squarespace complaint
Thanks for the support.
Just think, soon you will have little snap peas
Noelle / azplantlady´s last blog ..A Surprise From My Daughter….
I can hardly wait, Noelle. Wait — what was the lesson I was supposed to have learned from all this?
Want to join the Slow Blog movement? They’ve got a nice button.
Diana, I looked at that yesterday, and I thought I probably don’t qualify, since it’s kind of against daily posting, and at the very least suggestive that this practice runs counter to quality writing, whereas I’ve found daily posting to be a boon to the writing flow and practiced it consistently for over six months. It’s true that now I typically only publish four to seven days a week and have reduced my pace a bit… but still. Thanks for the offer, though.
lol! It’s lovely when patience (or severe lack of) is so beautifully rewarded!
Talon´s last blog ..Shhh…
LOL, you nailed me, Talon!
Don’t they have a lovely flower to go along with their lovely name? Sugar Snap Peas.
Lynn´s last blog ..Tending roses, legacy and just the ticket
I never thought of it, Lynn, can you believe that? I was so anxious for them to perform, I didn’t even notice their cute name.
Patience brings sweet rewards! Beautiful photograph of your special bloom!
Floridagirl´s last blog ..Fledglings, Flowers, and Foliage
It’s true, Florida Girl! I’m happy you liked the photo. The pea flower wasn’t the easiest subject for some reason.
Yum! Don’t put any photos up of the peas when they form – I love sugar snaps and you might just come back and find the picture empty
Heidi (GippyGardener)´s last blog ..Honest (and slightly verbose) Scrap
Heidi, now I definitely want to put up that photo, just to witness the virtual magic in action. One more reason to hope the plants produce — and soon.
amazing post,
loved the photo…
You just reminded me, I need to get mine planted! We still had frost last night. But spring has sprung
