When to plant pea in Darwin
Honest answer: pea is a poor fit for Darwin. Pea can't handle the heat in your area — temperatures exceed 26°C for too much of the year. If you're set on trying, treat it as an experiment — a sheltered microclimate or pots you can move may stretch the rules.
Tropical zone tip
Peas are marginal in Darwin, try snow peas instead, which handle the climate slightly better in the dry season.
Darwin is essentially frost-free, which gives pea plenty of flexibility either side of the ideal window.
