Smooth-seeded peas can be sown as early in the spring as the ground can be prepared. 

 Subsequent frost does not hurt them. Sow in single or double row, 24 to 26 inches apart, 

 covering the seeds about 2 inches deep. All wrinkled varieties are sown in the same 

 manner, but the gardener must wait until all danger of frost has passed or otherwise the 

 wrinkled seeds will rot. All varieties over 2 feet do better with support.
