Allotments 4 All

Hi all! My rootraiers are all full with other things at the moment so was wondering when I can direct sow the sweet pea seeds, is it too early? Any comments welcome! Thanks in advance, Dan :-)

They are hardier than you think so you could direct sow now I would think.

My autumn sown ones have been hardened off in a coldframe for a month and are now out in their final sport and seem very happy.

Cheers!!!!!  ;D

i've had some outside in the mini greenhouse for few weeks now, and some in the unheated bedroom, and some just sown in the heated living room) that seem to be leaping on at a great rate.

think i'm gonna  start putting them in the ground soon and see what happens.

Remember to pinch out the tops when they have 3 sets of leaves to bush them out.

Hmmm - mine aren't showing yet..... should I start off some more?

Alison

how long have they been in Alison ?

mine went in way back at the beginning of Feb but i sowed some more last week, so if you've got some more seed, i would anyway.

Sown on 25th March.... and phew 3 have appeared overnight... so fingers crossed the others will soon follow.

Alison

can never have too many, sow some more ......

;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

I sowed some sweet peas about 3 weeks ago and they've just started to show. It's been quite windy and cold but they don't seem to mind it. :)

Looking out at the sleet and hail ... I think I'll do it tomorrow! ;)
