Title: Planting out sweet peas
Post by: Deb P on March 30, 2016, 10:31:53

Planting out sweet peas.....I've sown in autumn for the first time and they have been outside in an open topped wooden box all winter, they look great and I'm wondering when to plant them out?

They are frost hardy and so sounds like you have them hardened off if you think there's some bad weather still to come just plant 1/3rd of them give it a week and if they are ok plant the rest. I find tying them immediately helps them get off the ground faster. Good luck, here's to lovely smelling flowers soon!

I planted my sweet peas out just before the storm and the wind has  ruined the row but having got it back up I think it should be ok. The cold weather will not matter it was only the  extreme wind that cause  a problem
