I'm especially partial to the zinnias, of course ;) Over the past couple of years, I've discovered so many plants to include in a vase that I had not considered before, including hosta leaves and Queen Anne's lace.

In answer to your question about purple-hull peas - they are a southern pea similar to black-eyed peas, and traditionally cooked with ham or with ham flavoring added. I have never seen them canned (like black-eyed peas), but you might find them in the freezer section of the grocery store. And the taste is different from green peas, but I don't know how to describe it.<br />Hope you are having a great week!Leahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05201714466868118083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3905148744278712684.post-49733213008898204572019-07-30T13:06:56.395-05:002019-07-30T13:06:56.395-05:00Cosmos and Zinnias!

I'm pretty shady here, so I have to celebrate every plant that blooms and adds color to the backyard.
