Early varieties of Peas should be planted at the very first opportunity after 
the frost is out of the ground. Second-early and main-crop varieties are sown 
about two weeks later. Plant the Peas about 2 inches deep and an inch apart. 
All but the dwarfest kinds benefit from a support of brush or wire. By making 
double rows 6 to 8 inches apart, the brush may be put between the rows, to 
serve both of them. The pairs of rows should be 24 feet apart. Peas need a 
cool, damp growing season.
