I am in NC and I planted Wando peas on Jan 1 - they seem to be stuck at about 3"-4" tall. Any ideas on why they stopped growing?
Thanks,
Amelia
Well I just got some of those WANDO from Baker Creek and the ones that made it about 4 inches were trampled when the rats picked out the rest for dinner, I have planted again with row cover so I hope I don't run into any problems - the description sold me. Said it did great in the south - somewhat heat resistant - Maybe it is still too cold there and they are stunted till it warms up. I did have the same problem with Maestro earlier this year they just lingered at the same size FOREVER, in fact I bought some Caselode Peas from Johnnys and they were unbelieveable, they grew so fast and were so healthy and I planted them after the Maetro and they out grew them in no time and produced, those Maestro just started about a month ago growing again and finally got peas - I can only think there was something in the enviroment when I planted them (temp, sun, water) that they did not like. I won't buy them again. I also had birds raid them and eat everything I waited about 3.5 months to grow. So they are bad news for me. I live in Florida and we did have some cold weather, but mostly mild. I can't figure what would have made them go so slow. So maybe you have to wait for it to be alittle warmer for these. 
How long have they been stuck at the current height? I know some plants tend to appear to stop growing above the ground while they work on spreading out a root system. Never seen it so much with peas, but then again I've never grown Wando peas either.
I agree with some water and fertilizer. (compost)
