traditionally corn has been used as a climbing post for peas as the peas put nitrogen back into the soil that the corn has taken out. My question is that corn and peas are opposite planting times so how does this work? Anyone?

beans not peas, they are a summer crop.

Perhaps growing climbing beans with corn would work?
