Topic: Peas in pots?

[admjh1]

I was wondering, due to me breaking my wrist and nit able to dig trench would it work if I started my peas(feltham) off in pots in the greenhouse? Or should they go into the ground ? 8)

Tee Gee has a very good slide show about growing peas in modules too :) Perhaps he can post the link when he comes on later ;)
I used his way last year and it worked for me :)

I've started using an idea I saw in a magazine - you sow 5-7 peas in an empty fruit juice carton (taking off both narrow sides to make a bottomless pot that can be planted whole).

5 of these 'bricks' will fit into a standard gravel tray - the equivalent of 1.5 metres of guttering - a lot easier to manage and deeper rooting for stronger seedlings too...

I've since found the central section of 6L milk cartons will work the same way at four to the tray - shorter row but bigger and better for climbing beans.

Cheers.
