If they are a round seeded variety yes if a wrinkled NO and either way the mice will get them if they get a chance.. I always like to start mine off and transplant, sections of deep guttering are great for that.

not until spring ::)
BUT if you long for the taste of fresh peas, try pea sprouts?

Like SS, I soaked and sprouted and put into the ground maybe 3 weeks ago, and they are all up and looking good with very few gaps.

I do hope they survive the "winter".

Same here, though I did a mix of sprouted and straight from the packet (variety Meteor) as I wasn't sure whether the sprouted seeds, having been in the kitchen, would object to the change of temperature. 

It all went under some left-over bubble wrap and, when I looked today, there were some fledgling plants.   :)  Can't say how pleased I was!
