good one tulip - I need to know that too. I'm sure I read something about soaking certain types of peas somewhere in one of my books, but can't remember details, or even which book. really must get a better memory! (useless Aqui :-\)

Hmmm, well I personally don't bother soaking anything, not even sweetpeas and normally have no problems at all.

Same as E-J on this one...hasn't made any difference. I've always put my peas straight into the ground, but I guess you'll get an early start. Taste is unbelievably yummy!

Best Luck CL

Had some good advice from E.J. for Pots

But I was.nt  too sure what the preparations were.

hence the question.

On the Box Mid April-to Mid May Outdoors in rows Dont sow too deep.

I've written down the information over the

[peas in the Pot ] again Thanks.

I thought rather than pots..........put them in a propagator

Again E.J  Thanks

It's processed peas that you soak overnight :)

Hi Tulip

I don't soak anything, so I'm with EJ on that one.

I think it encourages rot sometimes.

Try growing them in 'rootrainers' which are like deep cell trays.  All peas like a long root run.

Loz Hi

Ive bought a Few Small Propagators also some of those

Rot away pots  about 1.5 inches deep

Maybe its not a Bad idea to put the peas in these when there strong enough straight into the Ground would that be OK.

Again Many thanks for your time and Effort.

Greetings and Take Care  Tulip-23 Mike
