Has anyone had success planting peas on St Patrick’s day?

My sis in law is trying it this year but I’m not so sure.

Depends on where your sis-in-law  lives and what the weather is like there this year. If you supply us with more info, we can help...

St Patrick's Day came and went.

How did the peas turn out?  Or did they?

Hmm, I don't have any experience in zone 3/4, but that sure sounds like it would be too early. Peas can't germinate when the soil is that cold and they can become vulnerable to a multitude of pests once they start to soak up water- especially rodents and birds. I would wait till the soil warms a bit or plant in trays under lights.

Here in western Oregon, we've had extremely wet and cold weather for the past 2 months- lots of flooding in low-lying areas. I direct-seeded peas in my girlfriend's garden during a brief lull in the cold rain a month ago and it was a big mistake- too early. I planted my own peas (Sugar Magnolia) in trays under lights a few weeks ago because the rodent and bird pressure here is extreme and they completely wiped out my entire crop last year. I'm going to wait till the soil warms up, the sun comes out and the peas  get about 2 feet tall before I transplant. I'm determined to get peas this year!

Would she consider arctic lichens as a substitute??.... Kidding!....but can relate to this climate.


Zone 3a is pretty chilly.  If you are centrally located in the US or southern Canada, please note that it can heat up quickly after moving through June.  Field/forage peas ( https://www.ndsu.edu/agriculture/sites/default/files/2021-12/a1166.pdf ) are the same species as garden green peas, so the recommendations for planting in that linked guide hopefully can give some useful tips for when to plant peas your region.  Good luck!

I'll plant my snap peas in early April, but I'm in zone 8.  I planted in May last year and they shriveled from the July heat and stopped developing.

I do Celtic, fantasy, folk and shanty singing at Renaissance faires, fantasy festivals, pirate campouts, and other events in OR and WA, USA.
