I've grown soup peas in the past for drying, though I can't remember the variety. I do recall they made tasty soup. I never knew about blanching them before drying either, but that does make sense. I'm glad you enjoyed your tropical getaway. My former employer always sent me to places like Youngstown or Pittsburgh - not to be dissing them, of course!Dave @ HappyAcreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03441364543023807886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-313396449380749054.post-79347277338237122018-07-09T13:53:16.973-04:002018-07-09T13:53:16.973-04:00Thanks Michelle.

It looks like you have a lot to celebrate. I suppose that some of the seeds in your mesclun mix are losing viability so the viable ones are dominating.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07812702328134261533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-313396449380749054.post-18932552113939287662018-07-09T08:21:12.631-04:002018-07-09T08:21:12.631-04:00Such a beautiful harvest.
