Do I need to thin these peas?

[roodles84]

I've sown my peas, 2 seeds per module because I didn't realise what a good germination rate I was going to get! Now, do I need to thin them down to one per module, or can I just plant them in pairs with maybe big spacing between?
What do you think?

I wouldn't disturb them, plant them out as they are. I don't think you need to increase the spacing much, either.

[mcdood]

Agreed, bung 'em in.

[Bren In Pots]

I wouldn’t bother disturbing them either.

If they are a normal modern variety, growing to 2-3 ft, then just leave them as is. If they are a taller heritage variety, though, growing to 5-6 ft, you may be better off thinning.

I split mine because I lost some to mice and didn't have spares so wanted to spread them out a bit. They would be fine as longs as you are gentle in untangling the roots. That said you dont need a lot of spacing for peas. I grow alderman peas and they can go in 5 cm apart

Not knowing how you plant them out, what I do is plant 12 seed s to the foot in about 6" wide rows. So with your peas, I would still plant out 12 to the foot which would be 6 modules if they all had 2 in. As they grow, they would be spread out above ground.
One year, I had 5 purple sprouting broccoli in a 3" pot that was a bit neglected. I eventually just bunged it in and they all fell over in different directions but the following spring i got really good crop.
