[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So... the peas I planted last weekend are probably germinating right now. Will they die if we get frost tomorrow? Can I/ do I need to protect them?[/quote]

They should be fine. Rule of thumb is as soon as ground can be worked. around here, I always try to get mine in before the end of February. Later than that, it will be too hot for setting.[/quote]

Thank you. After posting, I googled the issue and found that young peas can stand temperatures down to 28F just fine, will suffer some damage from temps down to 20F, and are toast (bad metaphor here) below that. I guess we are in the middle range so I'll see...[/quote]

PP here again. Well, I think I may have lost them. They still haven't emerged, and I dug up one end of the row and didn't find anything sprouting in the soil. It may have been the cold, but it may also have been a matter of drought, as I neglected to water while it was so cold.

I'm assuming it's too late to replant and get any crop before warm season vegetables go in?[/quote]

I suspect it's water. I put mine in around the same time as yours, but was watering religiously. The soil was bone dry. [/quote]
