Podding the peas on Christmas morning was usually a shared chore for the family. |
How I had delighted in the growing, the blowing, the podding! |
We had five podfuls for dinner on the Fourth of July, and the children celebrated the day by podding them for the cook. |
A very characteristic feature of this plant is that it quickly decays after podding, when cultivated as an annual. |
Most people had bigger families than they do today, and Daisy remembers podding peas for thirteen people. |
