Summer Veg - whatever has happened?

The last peas I bought (from Tesco) were so tiny they were barely there. Might as well have had sugarsnaps.

Maybe pre-grown mushies!

I love broad beans, but I like them reasonably mature. The ones sold in the shops always seem to have been picked too soon for my taste...

... ah, but if your broad bean is really young and fresh - then there's nothing better : raw, - with a splash of olive oil, squish of lemon, grind of black pepper, shaving of parmesan / gran padano. Have been shelling quantities of such (in an Italian garden) - and we think they are just lovely...
