I’m no expert, but I’d be hesitant to use winter peas as the nurse crop.

I planted winter peas twice - the first year I assumed I had a total crop failure because I never saw them. The second year I tried again - but also put up an exclusion cage. Same result as the prior year except inside the cage where they were growing like crazy. It turns out the deer were wiping them out as soon as they started growing!

I’ll tell you what, my plots looked incredible in February

Between the lack of rain for the next month and the chance of army worms, I’d wait a while.
