yehudith - the ones I sowed indoors were "Alaska" they were purchased from WMart and planted the next day so I know they were fresh. I've had poor results with WMart seeds before, but felt compelled to buy these because the year-old Wando seeds I direct seeded on Feb 17th only grew twenty plants from two full packages! Thankfully, I managed to sucessfully transplant them into single row. "Alaska" sprouted 22 seeds out of 30 that were set. I will plant the rest in the fall.

The "Burpee Early" peas I set in the garden on Feb 18th sprouted really well and I'm hoping they will begin blooming soon. They are growing under hoop-loops nearest the camera in this photo.
