I'm not sure what happened, I haven't worked with peas much. But I note that you tilled in the clover, which looked really healthy, then planted peas. Both are legumes. Sometimes when you till in a crop, or cover crop, it will attract an insect or disease which feeds on the rotting tissue. The following crop can become a victim if it looks related or is suceptible to the pest. It might be worthwhile to have someone from local Extension look at the problem.
