      <![CDATA[I have always heard to plant peas on valentines day, but close enough, in fact I kinda like presidents day more cause it starts with P. Peas are pretty tough and can take a freeze or even go into frozen soil, Replant every two weeks to stagger harvest and fill the gaps.  The row cover is a good idea for pest though. Turning beds now is a little bit behind, they should have been turned and limed in fall.<br />
<br />
My personal favorites are<br />
Cascadia snap peas<br />
<a href="http://www.territorialseed.com/product/1018" rel="nofollow">http://www.territorialseed.com/product/1&hellip;</a><br />
<br />
and<br />
<br />
Oregon Sugar Pod II snow peas<br />
<a href="http://www.territorialseed.com/product/1016" rel="nofollow">http://www.territorialseed.com/product/1&hellip;</a><br />
<br />
Both are enation and powdery mildew resistant.

      <![CDATA[Chances are a lot of these seeds won't make it. <br />
But time is precious and seeds are cheap,<br />
so weather permitting <br />
I'll just fill in the gaps in a couple weeks, <br />
both enhancing and extending:<br />
the harvest. <br />
<br />
I can always buy more seeds, <br />
but February<br />
only comes once a year.<br />
<br />
this is how i read it. kind of like a poem. good luck with the garden.

      <![CDATA[@2 Those are floating row covers. Kind of like a thin, porous, Tyvek material that lets light, air, and water through, but insects and other small pests out. <br />
<br />
But in my garden they mostly serve to warm the soil a few degrees underneath, so as to speed up germination and protect young seedlings from cold night time temperatures. I remove them once the seedling are a couple inches tall.
