About raised beds. I used 2 x 12 Doug fir, couldn't find cedar at the time. It's not gonna' last much longer. I was thinking of using Trex decking, stacked 2 or 3 planks high when replacement time comes. Anyone know if that's a good choice? What do y'all use for the sides on your raised beds?
Take a few seeds from several packages, put them between sheets of paper towel and keep moist in ten days see what the germination rate was. Then decide if you need new?I have a bunch of seeds left over from the last 2 or 3 seasons. If I order only what I'm out of, I'm looking at an order of 2 packages from Territorial. Or will I be better off to just order all new seeds for everything I want to plant this year?
In another week after this coming cold patch leaves, I'll sow mine. My logbook shows around the 15th has worked in the past. Going to try germination indoors this year to try for better yield as peas seem to fail to sprout vigorously. Anyone have any advise for sowing peas? I usually just over plant in expectation of low success...
Soil temps are in the low 40's near me, so pea planting is just around the corner...
Anybody been bold and planter theirs yet ?

Thats how we do it, sow a bunch and then sow again after we see what comes up. We also do containers for peas, Black garbage cans, soil warms faster and better germination rate typically.In another week after this coming cold patch leaves, I'll sow mine.
