Did you plant Austrian Winter Peas or some other type of pea? I am not sure if Austrian Winter Peas will survive the winter in South Dakota if we don’t get alot of snow. I know the winter peas did survive winter when I worked in Nebraska but it only got down to -15 that year.

Good question. I haven’t planted anything yet but I am looking at planting something in my pumpkin and sweet corn fields this fall, after soil temps drop to 50 degrees. I was thinking peas would be a good option that would green up early in the spring yet be easy to terminate when I want to plant in June.
