Growing Sweet Peas from Seed
Sweet peas are easy to grow from seed and can be sown in early spring. Soak the seeds overnight to soften the tough seed coat. Plant the seeds in root trainers or pots filled with good compost, about 2-3 seeds per container. Provide good light and water regularly. Pinch out the shoot tip when the plants reach about 10 centimeters to encourage more shoots and flowers. Plant them out in rich, moist soil in April and provide a sturdy support structure for them to climb on.
