For a succession sow several varieties with different maturity da 
at the same time. This is especially important where early summer 
may bring hot and dry weather. Since peas require cool weather t 
grow well and yield satisfactorily refrain from sowing between the 
middle of May and the middle of August. Then sow extra- early sorts ; 
for a fall crop. 
Home gardener should support taller varieties although truck grow 
ers never do this.on account of the labor involved.
