Default Peas

On my travels today I saw trays of pea plants, about 2 or 3" high for sale.
Seemed to me to be an odd thing to be selling at this time of year. Is it?
Pea plants were Meteor.

I seem to recall growing Meteor as over wintering peas last year. They
weren't very successful but that may have been due to my lack of care.
Most other things I can grow pretty well but not peas. I guess it's
because I find them very fiddly and they occupy too much ground for what
they produce. But, IIRC, Meteor are for growing over winter. So quite
logical to have the plants on sale ATM.
