Yeah, i think i planted a little too much peas :lol: ,but i do love peas, especially snow peas sauteed with onion and proscuitto really good the snow peas just melt in your mouth... :drool.
You know you can never have too many peas. I planted about 200 or so Snow Pea seeds and about 225 Miragreen shelling peas. I sowed the peas two seeds per inch with two rows spaced about 6 inches apart. I figured it would be better to do double rows to save some space, then i'll put the trellis supports between the two rows. I think this year i'll use deer mesh netting for the trellis.

SaltyMomma,
You can still plant peas, its not too late :)
Choose pea varieties that will take the heat a littler better if your area will get hot weather in a month or so. You should be able to work some peas in the garden.
Good Luck! ;)

:welcome, SaltyMomma! Beautiful raised beds--mine look really sloppy, by comparison. :(
Thanks! My husband made them for me and they were actually pretty easy to put together.... 9 landscaping timbers (3 cut in half), 20 five inch nails (the kind that twist as they go in), and A LOT of hammering. :lol: We got a great deal on the timbers so each bed cost about $18 to build.

I picked up these seeds today...

No clue if they are good in hot weather. I got them because my favorite peas are the sweet tender ones and because the packet says the grow to 24" and need no support.
Speaking of hot weather... I don't think I'll need to wait a month for it to arrive... it already feels like it's here!:coolsun But, that's probably because I grew up in the Pacific Northwest and haven't gotten used to this southern weather. Truthfully, I don't know if I ever will. :p

The first blooms on mine opened today! Yayyyyy! I planted them a bit early to try and beat the slugs and snails out of an easy meal. Mine started sprouting the 12th of March.

Ok good, I planted around then.

I just didn't write down when I planted, when they flowered and when I picked last year. Which I should have!
