Use raised beds if your soil is slow to drain. Plant seeds 1 to 2 inches deep, 1 to 4 inches apart in rows 18 inches apart. Or sow about 1 inch apart for square foot gardens, (about 25 seeds per foot). Shallow planting is best when soils are cool and wet. Plant deeper if soil is dry. Do not thin. Garden Hints:Intercrop peas with fast-growing cool-season crops such as spinach or radishes. After final harvest, follow with late squash plantings or fall-harvested cool-season crops such as broccoli, leeks or potatoes. Sow fall pea crops about 8 to 10 weeks before first frost date. Do not use high-nitrogen fertilizers. Too much nitrogen will result in lush foliage but poor flowering and fruiting For the biggest yields grow plants in raised composted beds. Water regularly.
