Tips for pea seeds

Question

I have great luck in the garden, but planted around a hundred pea seeds and I bet only 15 came up. I forgot to apply noculent, but I always have problems with peas rain or shine. This year has been rainy, so the cooler weather should have been great.

Answer 1

Unfortunately, this rain is what caused the issue. Peas are very sensitive to rot, and wet conditions will cause this. A dusting of wettable sulfur, or a mix of 1/4 peroxide and 3/4 water will help to guard against this, but this will also kill an inoculate. Adding this back in after treatment will negate this.
