Default snap pea seed poking out of the dirt??

Thanks. I spotted a third when I was pushing the other two back in. I
thouhgt maybe 1" deep wasn't enough.


An inch is about right. Rain always seems to expose a few seeds each year
no matter how carefully I plant them.

Do you have your trellis/pea fence/pea brush in place? I find that even
with the short varieties, it helps to offer them some support, and with the
taller ones it's essential. My plants are about 6 inches high, and I'm
getting hungry already!

I have spare tomato cages, I was going to use a side of that. SHould
the wire be directly over the peas or can I mount it three inches back
against the side of the container?

Don't know what success I'll have. First timer, planted them late but
I did inoculate them. Two green shoots are breaking ground today. At
least their alive!

Thanks.
Cheers,
