North side of a big hill is tough - I can see why the peas wouldn't like March overmuch. When we first moved here i planted Wandos and Laxton's Progress #9 in March; the Wandos did great after a slow start but I never saw the LPs.
I can't open your link but if you read mine in post #46, it shows what I'm experimenting with. Planting half in the fall and half in the spring. We had such an extended cold in January that a pipe burst, and still the Thanksgiving planted potatoes are coming up. We'll see.
