Can anyone tell me if peas can be started in plug pellets like the Jiffy 7?

For pea shoots, I just put an 1" of spent compost in bottom of a seed tray. Soak marrow fat peas over night and sprinkle them on top. If you have a space where you "keep" your gutter, could double up after peas and beet all planted out.
Take 1st cut above bottom leaves to allow for cut and grow again.
Don't let them grow too long.... the feelers give a strange experience when eating.

Use 1.2m sections - 4' old money so 2 will run length of bed.... 2 weeks apart.Last edited by 4Shoes; 20-02-2018, 09:11 PM.

"Gutter Sewing" is a brilliant way to start off pea seedlings I find, they can be hung from the rafters of the greenhouse/polytunnel away from prying mice who just adore pea seeds!
one sound piece of advice though, your better off doing it in say 3 to 4ft sections as it is far easier to pour out of the gutter into your pre dug furrow, than say a 10ft section thinking you are saving yourself a little time.
Take it from a voice of experience! Your not!
Trying to pour out a 10ft section is nigh on impossible! But funny to watch!"Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit, wisdom is knowing not to put it in a fruit salad"
