One of the things I had to buy was taller stakes for my peas and because the closer hardware store was closed for the holiday, I ended up biking back home with my groceries and with a package of six-foot-tall stakes. I felt like a knight on horseback with a lance and realized I&#8217;d never given much thought to how awkward that really is. I did feel very accomplished though, and my peas are so much happier now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I had a nice Memorial Day weekend, but somehow three days always seems so short.
