I'm growing Oregon Sugar Pods and Little Marvel (I think that's then name). They are all bearing now. OSP didn't germinate as well as the others. I've got a persistant gopher who only likes the roots. I think he is trap wise, he fills the trap with dirt, I move it to a different tunnel, he fills it again.
A couple of years ago I tried starting pea seed in July, using a strip of ground that had been mulched with grass clippings. The soil was cool and I had good germination. I got a few peas off it before the weather got too cold. It's probably too late to do it this year.
