The onions and garlic won't kill the peas, they stunt their growth.  Same 
with potatoes, except for early potatoes.

Peas like:  Celery, chicory, eggplant, parsley, early potato, strawberry, 
sweet potato, turnip, bean, carrot, corn, cucumber, lettuce, radish, 
spinach.

Chives will repel aphids and mint improves health and flavor.

Just a btw, onions, shallots and garlic will also stunt the growth of beans.
