The best time to plant peas in our locality is from October 
1st to March 1st. Planted later than this they will produce 
only a small crop, as very hot weather will stunt their growth, 
except along the coast where the weather is cool and moist, 
they can be planted practically the entire year. Be extremely 
careful, do not plant peas when the ground is w r et or soggy as 
they will easily rot; however, when they are out of the ground 
they will stand a great deal of frost and cold weather, except 
if a heavy frost catches them just after blooming it will kill 
the pods. They will bloom again and form other pods but the 
crop will not be so heavy. Plant 60-80 pounds of seed per acre, 
either in hills or drills.
