Default Austrian Winter Peas

The Peas that I planted last spring are now almost gone, at leat what's above ground. The deer didn't graze it much until frost, but then they hit it hard. Almost all of the plot is only 1 inch tall. I put in a small patch near the house where we had garden this year and it is about 4-5 inches tall. I think they are a little nervous to come in to it. I'm anxious to see how well they rebound when the warm weather breaks, if they will come back from the roots.
They cleaned up my Red Clover first, then finished off the Ladino, and saved the Peas for last. This one Clover plot will need redoing this year, it's 3 years old and has a lot of grass in it.
If the Peas don't recover, I plan on planting them again this year as they held up real well during the gun season.
And the plastic bag fence worked very good, only noticed one or two tracks in it before I took it down prior to hunting season.
I'll repost when I see if they will come back.
