when to plant out peas?

[nackzucow]

Hi,

I have been growing peas for 10 days now in peat pots. When do they want planting out? How tall do they have to be before planting?

Wait till the roots start growing out through the peat pots. Make sure you harden them off gradually.

I've already planted out 3 rows on the plot and other plot holders have sown direct and they're starting to come through now.

You should see roots coming through your pots. As a rule a couple of inches is roughly the hight I plant mine out.

thanks guys, i will harden them off for a week then plant them, they are about 2.5 / 3 inches high, the roots are almost poking through.

Hi Nackzucow, I know you told us in one of your earlier posts that you live in Yorkshire but could you add that to your profile please? Then it will show up on your posts.
