Question:

Should I soak my peas to help germination?

Answer:

Yes, soaking the amount of pea seed you wish to plant in your garden in a cup of lukewarm water overnight will help the seed to absorb water and shorten the amount of time they need to germinate. When the soil has warmed up enough to plant your peas, you should get good germination within a week to ten days, maybe even less. Keep them well watered until the seedlings emerge and then water as needed.
