How was the rain / irrigation this year? Peas really take moisture to grow well. I sowed half directly, after a 3-ish hour soak. I unintentionally left another batch in the water much longer (days) and they started to germinate in the bowl. I carefully transplanted those and they sprouted up faster than the drier seed batch. I was sketchy about doing this as I heard they rot when wet.
Tormato suggested starting beans in 6 packs, which I did this year with good results. I haven't heard about doing this with peas. I sow them much thicker than beans, so it would be a huge project, for me.
