Peas profile

Reviewed 2026-08-28

Peas uses a reviewed direct sow profile instead of the former universal six-week default. The local frost date remains editable because cultivar, soil, hardening and microclimate can move the plan.

  • Reference method: direct sow; published lead-time reference: Direct sow.
  • Peas are generally direct-sown and tolerate cool conditions; local soil readiness matters more than an indoor lead.

Your result
Direct-sow crop: no indoor-start date calculated

This crop profile is normally direct-sown, so CalcSpan keeps the frost date as context without fabricating an indoor transplant schedule.

Sources & scope

Source & calculation QA reviewed

The calculation guide and this source trail show what the result means, where the rule came from and when it was last reviewed. This is source-and-calculation QA, not a claim of medical, legal, tax or other professional review; time-sensitive decisions still belong with the linked authority.
