I found that to be nowhere near enough for my family, but maybe we didn't pick them fast enough to re sprout. If your whole family likes them, then double it for sure. Remember that peas are a cool weather crop, so direct sow it 5 weeks before your last frost date, so around mid April. I remember presoaking my peas, not sure if it helped or not. Worth a try though.

Good luck and enjoy your garden!

I wonder if I can Winter Sow them now along with the lettuce? I'll have to go to that forum and check it out.

I worry about WSing peas. They rot easily. I was either going to ask Trudi or skip WSing peas and beans. Not sure.

I soaked my peas before planting last spring, and I do think they germinated better and faster. I planted some more for an attempt at a fall harvest (I planted too late) and didn't soak them. They seemed much slower than the first ones.

Thanks everyone for the ideas.

I will definitely double or triple the number of squares.

Do the sugar snap peas need a lot of strong vertical support? I was planning on building a vertical trellis with pipes and netting on the back of the square, but that is not going to work for the middle squares. What do you do for support on the middle squares?

I've seen the cone shaped wire tomato cages used for them in the sfg. A cylinder formed from poultry wire would also work.

I just planted some peas around wire cylinders like Granny was talking about. They are only about 1 inch tall right now. The cylinders were made from leftover 3ft fence. The diameter of the cylinder was 1ft (circumference about 36 inches)...I planted about 12 seeds around it. I also pushed it into the ground about 1-2 inches. I hope this works!
