So, maybe, if I sneak in a few radishes (since peas like them), it will help
offset any stunting of growth by onions/garlic?  I'll give it a shot and
leave the onions 'as is.' Hopefully the peas will grow anyway but w/ lower
yields, which means I should plant more peas elsewhere as a back-up.

Gee whiz. This gardening stuff is not easy. I should've looked up the
companion planting scenario before I put peas and onions together, but it
seemed like a good match to me.

Thanks to those who have replied.
