Lindy and Jake guard the pea patch. We have 3 rows of pinkeye purple hull peas, two rows of blackeyed peas and 3 short rows of zipper peas (my favorite). The zipper peas have acted ugly all year and not wanted to germinate, so this was my last hurrah at growing them this year. I would have preferred a majority of zippers as they are larger and taste a bit like boiled peanuts, which is part of why I love them best. The pinkeye (nasty sounding name) are a close second, but are not as tasty and are smaller (and consequently more labor intensive for the amount of peas you get).
We also have a little side garden with two eggplants, two crook-neck squash, one yellow pear tomato, and several token sweet potato vines.
