A question of peas?

[Two_Sheds]

If you're not going to sow direct, then put them in pots, it doesn't have to be root-trainers. I find peas don't really mind root disturbance

Brilliant. Thank you Flummery! Much appreciated. Sounds like wrinkly's good, then!

I hope so - I'm getting that way meself!

Sorry ... another question ... I've not yet sown these peas, but I've got some Kelvedon Wonder and want to sow them in pots this week.

I have a feeling I read somewhere that when sowing peas you're supposed to either scratch the surface of them with sandpaper or else soak them. But I can't remember the details of what I read.

Could anyone possibly recommend the best thing to do, please?

Many thanks!
