Not very deep at all. When I was growing up on the farm we grew lots of sweet peas. ! 1/2 to 2 inches deep.

I soak them over night. Roll themin some nitrogen fixer and plant. Some times I can not find the fixer so I just throw them in the garden. I have a pea fense. I some times use the square tomatoe cages for them to grow onbecause I can not store them. By the time the peas are gone it is time to plant tomatoes

It doesn't matter. Seed-based plants have been surface-sown since the beginning of plants. Just throw them on the ground, water them, and then put your cat out there to guard them from the birds.
But seriously, you'll first want to take them out of the can. Warm them slightly with a little butter. Then eat them. Poop them out in your garden the next morning. This will also give them a fertilizer boost to start with. Since only the strongest ones will survive you'll be guaranteed to have a good crop.
Good luck!

The flowers???
I was just watching the news and they were talking about having to plant them now for spring and to plant them shallow about 2 to 3 inches deep.

How deep is the ocean.
How deep is the sea.
How deep do you plant.
A sweet pea seed.
If you where the ground,
and me a sweet pea.
I would plant my seed.
Deep in thee.
Then I would wait
for it to grow.
Not too fast.
Not too slow.

It will say on the package and will vary on the part of country you are living. If you don't have the package, take a look the next time you are in the home and garden center of the store and read the back of one. You'll be safer this way.

Not too deep, but not right on top of the soil. Hmmmm... I'd say about 1-1/12 inches should do it.

I use my finger to bury them and I only go about as far down as the quick of my finger nail...I'd say that's about a 1/2 inch... They don't need to be planted deeply... but it's best if you do have some kind of trellis for them to climb.

The rule of thumb for seeds in general is twice the depth of the diameter of the seed. Also, too deep and it'll rot; too shallow, and it won't root, and risk being food for some creature.
