    I would give them a week or two of outside in the day and in at night to get them used to the shock of the big wide world.

        I have been trying to work this one out after asking for anyones knowledge of AGRETTI seeds. Just realised it wasnt answering my query no wonder I was confused

            I tried growing peas in guttering a few years ago, but I won't be doing it again. I nearly fell off the roof harvesting them

            If it ain't broke, don't fix it and if you ain't going to eat it, don't kill it

              I was always under the impression that peas liked a long root run, like beans & sweetpeas Surely guttering isn't deep enough to give a long root? I'm going to be sowing mine in root-trainers for the first time this year, after getting fed up with the weird fungus growing on the loo-roll inners for the last 2 years...

                The peas and beans I have in Roottrainers are romping away Sara, bestest things ever invented for starting peas, beans and sweet peas.

                    I grow in guttering, what I did was gut the guttering to fit a standard seed tray and put two pieces in a tray. The tray then stops the compost falling out the end. I also found the length easy to slide the peas out when transplanting. You dont need a great deal of compost to start peas off and I think it is a bit of a waste of use to use root trainers. ( will be needing them for beans soon).

                      Hmm, I like that idea Gojoberry! I was thinking of leaving the lengths of guttering quite long, so there were less ends to cover, but then I guess they'd be more difficult to get into the ground later.
