Even though you can sew peas directly into the ground I like to start them in pots, just as I do with just about everything. We get a lot of Spring rain and they are easier to protect from slugs and snails in little seed pots.
The other thing that likes to eat pea shoots around here are house sparrows! Just as you might get pea shoots as a garnish at a posh restaurant, sparrows love these tender greens, too. I cover them with a little tent of chicken wire when I first plant them out.

Peas! One of the earliest seeds I like to start in Spring. They are cold-tolerant and love a cooler climate, more than their cousins, the beans. Get them going too late in the season and they might just crash out early from the heat once it warms up.
Like all legumes, peas are nitrogen fixers - they draw nitrogen out of the nitrogen gas in the air and store it in their roots in little nodes. This enriches the soil and reduces the amount you need to 'feed' these plants.
Garden peas are great but I love sugar snaps because you can eat more of the plant (the pod as well as the peas) and they are tasty fresh right off the vine.

Seed raising. I was growing 100% veggie plants I raised from seed and then I burnt out on it. Last year I got all my plants from the garden centre. Nothing wrong with that; whatever you've got the capacity for is great. But I do LOVE seed raising when I have got the energy.
This year I'm going to try starting one type of seeds per week, starting this week. That is the plan, anyway. I also love the idea of growing extra and giving away the excess plants to friends and/or by putting them in front of the house with a 'free' sign. Because I have a small home garden and I always end up with excess seeds. I'm starting with peas.
