Default Autumn sown peas

I don't know who it was here that recommended it, but I sowed a few drills
of peas (Douce Provence) in open ground on my allotment 2 weeks ago and
already there is very high germination rate with loads and loads of stout
little shoots showing. I am well pleased with the advice and am well
looking forward to early picking next year.

Anyone else do over-winter peas?

Yes I planted Little Marvel last year under small polytunnels. Did really
well; huge crop, totally beyond my expectation. Due to time restrictions not
able to do the same this year.
