Well, If it doesn't I guess I will just have a lesser pea crop in that there row. I planted the cloves right along the row every 6" or so. I looked it up, too. Sounds as if I should have chosen a different place to plant them, the peas may be stunted. Since they are peas that need a fence I guess I am not too worried. http://organicgardening.about.com/od/ve ... n-Peas.htm
