Spring Peas in the Midwest Garden
Even with the typical cold then warm then freezing then cool temperature fluctuations, those reliable little peas have sprouted, as they always do.
With a few days of perfect 50+ highs and 40’s lows for temperatures in the upcoming weather forecast, everything else should start growing, too. Peas can withstand light frost and temps down to about 30F if not prolonged. We had a dip to 28F last night. Everything seems to have come through ok. Of course I had most things covered or carried back onto the porch where they were protected.
These peas should be blooming in about a month, with pea pods a few days after.
