Square Foot Garden Planning - Peas

Pea (Dwarf Grey Sugar)
Brand: NK Lawn & Garden
Purchased at: Meijer ($1.19)
Spacing: Row: 2 1/2 ft, Plant: 2 in
Planting Depth: 1 1/2 in
Days to Germination: 8-12
This heirloom, edible-podded snow pea produces sweet, crunchy pods that are eaten whole before the peas inside develop. Harvest in 65 days. Growing Tips: For best results, sow seed directly outdoors in full sun, in spring or fall, when temperatures are cool. Scatter seeds at the rate of 1-2 seeds every 2 inches. After germination, thin to 1 plant every 2 inches. Bush plants require little support. Harvest and use as soon as pods are filled out.

The packet says I should plant these in Feb-April so I better get to it!
