In my experience (which now stretches two seasons, so have a grain of salt handy) Pisum peas are much more cold hardy than Lathyrus peas. So while your eatin’ peas may be springing up, it wouldn’t surprise me if your sweet peas are taking their time. Try not to set them out too early, I don’t think they feel all snuggly in cold, damp weather.
