However, what I found is that the seeds take FOREVER to germinate in the cold soil. So instead of planting the seeds when the soil can be worked, I plant the plants and get about a month’s worth of waiting past.

You start PEAS indoors? And it works??? I've got trays and dirt (I understand the hoity-toity gardeners call it "soil") out in the garage now. Time to set it up!

I’ve done it before. You can only try and it’ll only cost a few seeds if it doesn’t work out.

I use the peat pots I got at Wal-Mart. The square ones come in flats of 8 connected together; 2x4. I split them lengthwise so they’re 4 long and I just dug a trench and put the strip in. They were spaced perfectly.
