I grew sweet peas for the first time last spring. They added a great deal of beauty to my garden. Thank you for sharing your video. God bless our efforts in i of ur gardens this year.
I love sweet peas Steve and I’ve never soaked the seeds before but will be trying that method now. All that you explained about the root training cells makes a whole lot of sense, thanks for those tips as well. Happy gardening 😊
I love sweet peas,, I’ve grown ‘heaven scent’ for several years now, saving my own seeds from one year to the next,, and they do smell ,, well,, heavenly ,, everyone has their own way of doing things don’t they? to soak or not to soak that is the question ,, best wishes, Lisa
I soaked mine and panicked when they got soft but viola they are all coming up a week later. Thanks for sharing your videos and as always stay safe and stay gardening 🇨🇦✌️🥬🌶🥕💐🧑🌾
Just sown my sweet peas for this season Steve, after giving them a miss for a couple of years, actually it was my Mrs that decided she'd like to have some, say no more...
Thanks for the video, I sowed some expensive sweet peas in the autumn and only one germinated out of about forty, either mice ate them or they rotted or were slugged, so this time I shall follow your method and hopefully be more successful.
Hi Steve. Just a thought. The deep root trainer type tray you showed would it not be possible to burn Out the bottoms so they are straight through to enable you to push out the plant easier. Just a thought so you can make good use of them. All the best.
I agree if your method works why change it if we all do the same thing life would be boring i like watching your methods and if I'm having bother with my method i give your way a go sometimes a bit of both methods works a treat i used to grow my sweetcorn in them root trainer trays and they went backwards on planting out obviously i must have been damaging the roots but since i changed to the root trainer cassettes i have had no trouble they grow on great haven't seen Tony on as much hope he ok
I've never had any luck with sweet peas. Ive tried them for the last 3 years never had a single seed germinate. Think I'll try 1 more time try this method
Hi Steve what do you think of using toilet rolls for starting off the seeds? I've been saving them but noticed last year that the carrots roots came out the sides. Not sure if it is something I did wrong or were they too wet?
I have had the same Steve. I had loads of seedlings that geminated indoors ,all different varieties. I must of had 60 different things but only 1 of a certain thing, and what got munched AGHHHHHHHH. Bloody slugs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Out the bottoms so they are straight through to enable you to push out the plant easier.
Just a thought so you can make good use of them.
All the best.

Thanks..😁.Tony is up to his eyes in building work at the moment, having his kitchen turned upside down...Steve...🙂
Excellent video Steve and technically it is still winter so you're not sowing the Sweet Peas in spring because spring isn't until March.
Spring in my greenhouse 😁 and it will be spring when they are planted...Steve...😁
Another great video 👍
Great video Steve. All my autumn ones in the greenhouse got eaten by a mouse so I'll have to get mine in this week!
Great video!
Yep, time to get down t allotment and do mine 😁
I've never had any luck with sweet peas. Ive tried them for the last 3 years never had a single seed germinate. Think I'll try 1 more time try this method
I put them between sheets of damp newspapers until they sprout and then plant them.
@@blackstacktube ok thanks i might try this and see if I have any luck
The ones I grow in October have got little white rings on the leaves do you know what that can be please
Are there any sweet pea varieties that flower continuously over a period of time?
Slugs are a pain..good luck sweet peas
👍👍👍

Haha! I've just sown my sweet peas in loo rolls. Yes, I can see that might happen.
i soak peas in jeyes fluid solution to stop mice digging them up

I am in BC I bought them on Amazon but they didn’t come with a stand (they shipped from UK)✌️🇨🇦🌶🥬

Slug pellets are so damaging to wildlife, so disappointing to see you use them.
