At last, the first of the Autahi peas are ready to eat!
We have been dialling up our Patience since we planted the seeds during Rising 5s at the end of August...
In mid-September we noticed that they were sprouting. Exciting!
We've tried to take care of them, with regular watering. They grew amazingly fast.
Now the pods are getting fat and ready to pick. We feel like cham-pea-on pea growers!
It's fun trying to discover where the peas are hiding on the plants. All the pods are ap-pea-ling, but we're trying to pick only the fat ones. That way, the others have time to grow a bit more before we eat them.
No need for a reci-pea: our peas never get as far as the kitchen. After all, what could be nicer than popping open a freshly-picked pod and gobbling up all the little, green peas inside? This is a new experience for some - but we're hoping that all our Autahi students will give peas a chance.
And our hardcore pea fans will hap-pea-ly munch through those sweet, pea-flavoured pods, too.
Peas are a wonderful, seasonal delicacy to share with children. We firmly believe that these are the experiences that are part of living our 'flourish' model for Positive Education, connecting us to positive accomplishment, engagement, emotions and health.
And watch out: there are beans on the way, too!
