If the peas you have saved have met this requirement, then go ahead and plant them for a fall crop. It is getting a bit late now (mid August) to plant peas for a fall crop as the temperatures may turn colder before they have a chance to go from vegetative leaf growth to flowering, setting seeds and maturing, but you have nothing to lose by giving it a try. Ideally, you would have seeded them in the garden by early August.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/extension.umn.edu\/planting-and-growing-guides\/saving-vegetable-seeds#:~:text=Quick%20facts,growing%20seasons%20to%20set%20seed.\">This fact sheet from the University of Minnesota Extension\u00a0explains a bit more.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Question: If we are saving seeds from spring peas, can they be planted for a fall crop before they are thoroughly dried?
