Absolutly plant them but protect them from birds and mice. I use chicen wire and mouse traps

And look out for weevils, otherwise they are easy.

yes - as aunty says - plant them now - and make sure the ground is kept nice and damp - but watch your watering at this time of year - try watering them early in the day

peas plants are very tasty to lots of critters - so again as said - protect them well - i use glass cloches for my winter crops

cheers i was looking in a book and it said they should be planted in the spring and i was worried do they grow like runners would up a wig-wam of canes?

most peas go in in the spring - but there are some round peas that can go in now - for the extra 3/4 months they are in the ground - you will probably get peas setting about 3/4 weeks earlier than your spring sown ones - depending on weather etc

peas can grow quite tall - i use the tops off chestnut trees for support - and i have them about 5ft tall and twiggy - and the peas climb up those really easily
