Hi,

I'm sowing peas in pots to start indoors and for the last two years I've underestimated how many to sow. How many do people usually sow to feed a family of four say twice a week and then with a few to freeze.

suggests

Peas
 (6 plants/ft. of row).....  70 plants for a family of 4

If you want to can or freeze some, or you just really like a vegetable, you’ll want to plant more
