Let's grow Easy-Peasy Pea Shoots

[Bren In Pots]

My peas have chitted so they're going in compost this morning then onto the window sill, it looks like only two have failed but I'll bung those in as well.

[SarrissUK]

There's definite rumblings in my pea pot - the compost is cracking up and I expect to see growth in the next day or two! That was quick

[Bren In Pots]

My pea shoots are showing above the compost how's everyone else's doing?

[SarrissUK]

Well mine seemed to make a very promising start, but still... after a week. Nothing!

[veggiechicken]

Mine are in the GH which may have been a mistake in this cold spell. They're swelling but may also rot as they look a bit too wet.

[Bren In Pots]

Mines on a bedroom window sill with a piece of card/kitchen foil behind, we don't close those curtains so the temp stays mostly the same. I'll leave it a week and then chit more seeds hopefully I'll have a supply all winter if i keep that up.

[veggiechicken]

Just brought mine into the kitchen where they've been squeezed onto the windowsill with the rest of the clutter!

[Bren In Pots]

My shoots are now an inch tall they're sow to grow so i'll be leaving it a few more days before i chit some more seeds.

[veggiechicken]

Mine rotted

Better try again but I won't soak them this time.

[Bren In Pots]

That's a shame about them rotting VC
I only soaked mine over night after that they went in the sprouter to chit.

[Bren In Pots]

I'll be taking my first cut today, really pleased VC gave me the nudge.

Oh wow Bren yours look great. Mine are about 13 inches tall with three pairs of tiny leaves along each of the stalks. They have grown lots of twinning, tendrally bits. Mmmm. Wouldn't get enough to fill a thimble! Think I will have to start again.

I'm late to this party. Finally got round to sowing some.
Experimenting, they will be going in the the hydroponic thingy as well
(lots of things have gone in there today)

[bramble]

Just found my seeds today.
Will be dowing them tomorrow.

[Bren In Pots]

I've sown some more pre-chitted peas today, they're slower this time of year and going by last time it'll be 3 weeks before the first cut.
