Leaning over to touch their toes

Second lesson learned:  A little extra height on pea supports prevents heartbreak.

For the holiday weekend, we had out-of-town family guests, and it was fun to share my garden with someone new.  My lovely snaps peas and lettuce looked amazing in the misty 4th of July weather.  Fast-forward a couple of days, and when I return from an overnight visit to the San Juan Islands to find my snap peas leaning over en mass, touching their toes.
