When you see the below, on the other hand, this snap pea looks very flat. So it’s not right time to harvest.

Glowing, harvesting and eat vegetables. This process is actually obvious but when I was in Tokyo, it was no common.
To eat vegetables, I had to buy at grocery stores.
I feel this process is fun and also important for us 🙂
