Sweet pea seeds

Well done Luckygirl for giving seed growing a try. It’s. very satisfying ?. I wouldn’t do any pinching out yet.

Hint for those who haven’t planted sweet peas yet - collect cardboard inners from toilet paper (ask friends and family to save) put in plastic tray and fill with compost. Put 2 or 3 seeds about a inch down in each. When big enough to plant out, each roll inner can be put in ground as they are, so roots aren’t disturbed.

I think Monty Don suggested this last year.

Do you pinch the sweet peas out even if there are no other leaves down the main stem?

I too have sweet peas and sunflowers seeds that have sprouted I’ll pinch the tips out when they are about 6ins tall.
The sunflowers I’ve actually put them out in the ground now and covered them with leaves for a little protection not sure if they’ll do ok though.

LuckyGirl. I have just found a lot of small seedlings in a pot with with my honeysuckle.

I did not put them there. I suspect that the warm spell might have put them into growth. I think the seedlings might be last year Sunflower seeds.

This sudden bitter cold is not going to do them any good though

I am not very good at growing from seeds at all.
