This is our tale of trying to get peas in the ground in early February. Unfortunately an ice storm followed by a snow storm delayed our efforts greatly. But we found a solution!

Good afternoon Jamie. I would think it’s too early so this is going to be interesting because you have a lot more knowledge than I do. Thanks for sharing and hope y’all have a blessed day and week ahead my friend.
Will check out that link. Thanks for the info
Note: The soil temp on the day of the transplanting was 44 degrees F. See the link in the description to find your own soil temperature. This is key information to have in late winter and early spring if sowing seed straight to the ground. Different types of seed require different levels of soil temperature for optimum germination rates.
I do like to start my peas in rain water Guttering early season Jules, once big enough fill the gutter with water and they slide straight out into the peppered trench.
