Our two rows of pea seeds were all lost the first time of planting to mice,

My first sowing of modern peas didn't do that well and had a few peas. I
then sowed (on a friend's advice) non plus ultra and alderman, both old
fashioned . They romped away, carried tons of peas and don't seem to
suffer from drought or lots of cool days like the modern types.

Will sow them again next year.
