Sweet Pea Planting on St. Patrick's Day

[ducks4you]

I wonder if the problem was the soil? I've planted peas successfully. MY problem (in 2011) was finding them amongst the weeds!!!! I found so many so LATE last year that I just saved the seeds.
I've planted in compost that I moved to the planting site.
Question: Are we talking about peas (snow peas, regular peas, sugar-snap peas) or sweet peas (the tall flower), or both?
...confused...
Should I be putting my sweet pea flower seeds direct sow right now, too? I was going to start them inside, then move out seedlings.
Answer QUICKLY--March is M A R C H I N G by...

oooooohhhhhhhh....I'm sorry! I probably caused the confusion because in retrospect I think this thread is about the flowers (considering it's in the flowers section) and I was talking about sugar snap peas! Blame me, I'm new to all this!

Thanks for the tips all. I am hoping to finally grow some this year.

I couldn't wait--~60 sweet pea seeds in the ground yesterday evening. Wish me luck, I DIDN'T scarify, BUT my compost is pretty fresh and very acidic, so that might help.

I think I'll tuck in a few pea seeds tomorrow
