#$#$%@ government
How is one supposed to have an organic garden when the bloody government decides to spray the entire county with pesticides!?! Without warning (unless you happened to catch the TV News program about it, which would of course require one to actually own a TV).

First harvest
... and note to self.
Next year plant many more pea plants, and earlier in the year.
Total harvest to date: 3oz.
The plants are still producing though, and the peas are tasty so they aren't lasting very long. Definitely need more next year though. -

Worms!
Thanks to an unexpected gift in return for helping these folk with a bit of scripting for their website, we'll be getting a worm bin for composting kitchen scraps.
Ok, that's probably not exciting to anyone else but it's one more piece of the gardening project and a faster and cleaner way to compost the food scraps.
