My snow pea volunteer for this Winter.

As you know, I have been unable to find snow pea seeds anywhere in the Bay Area this Winter. I have gone to Ace Hardware, the Dollar Tree, Home Depot, Lowe's, and my local pet feed store. No success.
But a "volunteer" started sprouting a couple of weeks ago, and I then found another snow pea seed atop my computer (where I often keep my seeds).
I am attaching a photo of my volunteer that I took yesterday. I will treat it like a prince, and see if it yields.
I am sad that the kids and I could not plant snow peas at the preschool, but I am happy to see if this precious plant prospers (alliteration intended).

Dollar Tree sells seeds to plant? I don't think I've ever seen them there.

@lovebuglena I tried. But the price, including shipping, was ridiculous.

@TheHorse I'm not too surprised. They are pretty small.

@popciclecold I hope those seeds don't disappear by the Spring. Perhaps I should buy some now.

@TheHorse i don't believe companies are evil, I do believe that companies have CEO's that probably are close to evil.
