I started some Giant Oregon Snow Peas on propagation mats for better germination and started cleaning up some raised beds for planting.

I just soak my pea seeds and then drain and keep damp for 12-24 hours until I see the roots just starting. Then I sow the sprouted seed out in the garden as per usual. It seems to prevent rot if the weather turns cool and wet. I planted my first batch yesterday (Wednesday) morning, 3 varieties of snap peas: Cascadia, Sugar Daddy, and Sugar Snap.

Snow peas get tough at the first development of a pea. They have to harvested before peas start to form up. Other than that, stress (drought, heat, lack of nutients) can cause them to toughen up before their time.

I have found that they produce little when you do this. Better off replanting. You could also develop disease on the stressed plants

Wonderful! I have to envy you because after many years absence, woodchucks have returned to my yard and destroyed most of my pea crop. I got a few peas though.
