Thank you so much for sharing your feedback with us. Your input is very important and truly helps us improve our processes so we can provide the best possible experience for our customers.
We'd love to know when you planted your seeds? Peas are a cool-season crop, and if they were planted during the summer, the heat would have killed the plants off.
Based on the video the soil looks very dry; peas need a LOT of water as well as cooler temperatures. I also see lots of wood chip mulch; is your soil prone to lots of sow bugs (aka rolly polly bugs) and earwigs? They could have consumed the seeds before they could germinate, especially if they weren't planted deep enough. Both tend to prefer areas with wood chips.
If you'd like to reach out to our Customer Service team with any questions we'd love to help.
We really appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts.Keep on growing 🌻️

It was pretty easy to grow over the winter in 9a. Protect when there is a threat of frost. There were no problems until it started to get humid and powdery mildew appeared. I only saw one moth caterpillar, and thuricide helped for a little bit.

I love my sweet peas from your seeds this year! They actually have grown taller than the wall tgey are growing by, supported by birch branches...so beautiful with Cosmos growing in front! I hope to harvest seeds from them...is that possible?
