Thumb can be planted during August and September for fall. During November 
Lh Bias iets 
and December we plant the Marrowfat; January and February, or as late as. 
March, all kinds can be planted, but for the latter month only the earliest varieties 
should be used as the late varieties will get mildewed before they bring a crop. 
Peas will bear much better if some brush or rods are stuck in drills to support 
them, except the very dwarf kinds.
