Hello everyone
I have sprouted peas on kitchen paper, now I don't know what to do. Can anyone help please. Do I bury all the pea or leave the sprouted bit above ground thanks for any advice. I am new to this veg planting lark Lol

One possibility is to get lengths of guttering, fill with compost and bury the peas in it, preferably with the little white root gently persuaded downward (stop up the ends with duct tape or similar). Later you can transfer them to your plot, when they are little plants.
Or you could put them straight into your plot by dragging out a widish "trench" (just deep enough to plant them in), placing the rooting peas in it at reasonable intervals, and dragging the soil back over them, maybe a couple of inches.
Must admit I did this 2 weeks ago and am still waiting for them to emerge.
I put mine into 24 cell seed trays.
Fill with sieved compost, bang on the bench to settle it a bit, put one pea in each
with the root pointing down then cover with a bit more compost.
Then water them.
Thank you both for your advice, I will try both methods. I have not got any guttering I thought I would go to the local builders yard for that.
