No show peas (Again)

[veggiechicken]

No idea of dates, I have a habit of tearing the sow by date off when I open the packet

I slit the packet down the side seam which keeps all the info intact.

Well, the Douce Provence have failed me More space for something else I say, a quick crop of radishes whilst the outdoor tomatoes are getting their act together...... Luckily I sowed the Kelvedon Wonder at the north end of the bed so they won't shade others out. You win some you lose some. Adapt and survive that's the motto.....

Well I sowed some Terrain peas into compost (following Charles Downing's method) giving them a good watering initially and leaving without watering again. Suffice to say they were no show and rotted in the compost.

How about the drainage from your containers? That's the only other thing I can think of if your seeds are rotting and you're not overwatering.

Drainage is fine as they are on plastic cells with holes in the bottom and the cells are sat on wire greenhouse shelving.

If they are in a greenhouse and in the sun they could literally have cooked. I had this happen to one lot I tried to germinate in my friend's greenhouse.

They are outdoors.
