Yesterday I planted the peas. About 5 feet of shelling peas and 15 feet of sugar snaps. Though it seems late (because of our insanely warm temperatures this week) a scan through my previous years' pea posts says it's not. Mid-April seems to be a fine time for peas to come up, if they are protected from rabbits!
We are at growing degree day 30. In 2011 I noted that the peas emerged around growing degree day 38, but that they had sat in the ground awhile waiting until then. This time they were pre-soaked. Given the forecast this week and the later planting date, I have a better feeling about emergence.
Gotta get the rabbit fence up ASAP.
