Keep them cool and plenty of light. If in greenhouse keep doors and windows open during the day.

Time to pinch out if not already done so. Simply cut the top off leaving 2 pairs of leaves.

Doors and windows open in this mild weather. Even better if you can put them outside, just mind for rain.

Remove newspaper as soon as you see signs of germination even if only one has come through at the time.

That's it for now. Keep following us and we will go through the next stages as they happen. Germination should happen in about 10 days time.

Time to sow your sweet peas if you grow autumn plants. This guide is how we sow our seeds in the autumn so that we get earlier flowers next year.
Firstly check your compost, if it's on the dry side follow these steps, however if its already wet you can sow into that.
