Always freeze peas
To plant peas.
Make a shallow trench. About 6”- 6’ row
Spread peas Seeds evenly on top of soil (or even on top of snow ) no rows
cover with a layer or composted dirt or high power potting soil about a1/2 or 3/4 inch thick
Plant where they get lots of sunlight and have a climbing structure. I keep several sections of pig fence cut into 8’ segment to use in garden. Usually the farm supply stores are willing to cut larger segment in half
Do pea plants get 8’ tall? Or is that the width?
