Zipper peas and Kiwis

Much to our surprise this weekend, we picked and processed 3 more quarts of zipper peas.
They've only had water and care on the weekends, nothing during the week because of our schedules. Looks like we'll be able to pick again this weekend too. 

Here's our first kiwi too. All of them should be ready in the next week. We should have 50 or so in our first year picking.
A side note: Kiwis are easy to grow and can survive the cold weather. Vines grow at a fast pace and start producing fruit in their 4th year of growth. We have 8 vines but only 2 of them are 4 years old. Next year the other six will be in their 4th year, so we're looking forward to a year from now and many more kiwis.
