Using Two Shed's chitting procedure I thought some may be interested in the results so far.
I made a boob in the last post it was not Saturday but Friday.
Started on Friday 23rd, 100 seed left to soak overnight in clean water. Saturday drain, rinse thoroughly, drain again and cover with lid. Same on Sunday, rinse and drain.
Monday plant 25 to individual pots as they were ready, rinse and drain the rest.
Tuesday, plant a further 45 to pots, rinse and drain the rest.
Rinsing is an important part of the process as I found out a few years back when all the seed went fusty.

What other seeds do you germinate that way?

SP I don't use it for other stuff as I have no need to.
It was first suggested to me by 2Sheds way back when as I had had mouse trouble, eating direct planted seed. I don't know why but they don't seem interested in chitted seed and it has improved my harvest to.Potty by name Potty by nature.

Well after trying to sprout in sprouting jar they are all pathetic, some not even sprouted. This is 2 weeks on and I gave them a rinse daily (as you do with bean sprouts to eat) All my edible lentils,beans I normaly sprout start within a couple of days so why this ? Also, the ones in the pots that had started to sprout have rotted which doesn’t make sense as they were alive and I hadn’t been watering.
Seems like I just can’t grow peas anymore despite doing things as advised

I plant mine as soon as the roots break out of the seed, to minimize damage to the roots while planting. All I want to see is evidence that there is life there.A life is like a garden. Perfect moments can be had, but not preserved, except in memory. LLAP. - Leonard Nimoy
