My sweet peas chitted nicely and so I sowed them into pots of sieved MPC with some vermiculite on top and so far only one has developed and that looks very feeble!Last edited by mrsbusy; 21-03-2023, 07:32 AM.

This year was a complete fluke, I let them get a good little length of root on before I potted them up (mainly becuase I didn't have time to do it before) and only one hasn't appeared. I also had them all inside until they started poking their heads up. They're now in the unheated GH.Nestled somewhere in the Cambridgeshire Fens. Good soil, strong winds and 4 Giant Puffballs!
