In reply to Mr. Stoney. I remember shelling peas for my mom when I was a kid. She gave us gum to chew every time so we wouldn't eat all the peas!!! It worked pretty well too!

[…] Peas do particularly well when planted directly in the soil. They are super hardy so they can be planted as early as 60 days BEFORE your last frost. Just sow them directly in the soil as soon as it has dried out enough to work the soil. And try planting peas again in summer for a fall crop. […]

Very informative article. In answer to Tyson, yes you can pre-sprout your seeds. I did this this year because I live in the South and it get really hot really early. So far, so good.

In reply to Mr. Stoney. Thanks for the reply. I'm new to gardening and want to give my garden the best chance at "survival"! Maybe I'll try some both ways.

In reply to Tyson. Tyson, It could help if your soil is still cold. Peas like to have soil temps of 60 ish to germinate. This is something I have never tired. Do a little research on it and give it a go! At the most you would waste a few dollars in seeds. And it may help gain some time. Peas are cool season crops and should to well in your cold climate.

Donyou ever sprout your seeds before planting? I’m in Northern ND and have a VERY short season. Wondering if that would help get them going faster.
Thanks.

In reply to Anjummalik1960@gmail.com. I sow in early March, Germination in about a week to 10 days. They flower in May and harvest is finished about mid June.
