How to sow Sweet Peas | How to Grow Sweet Peas | Spring Sown Sweet Peas | Green Side Up
Today I am sowing sweet peas, at this time of the year the method changes from how I sow them in the Autumn. In the Autumn I want quite a bit of compost for the plants as they will be growing in the polybags for around 5 months and they will have time to grow a good root structure. Spring sown sweet peas will be growing for a shorter space of time so need less space, less compost and I actively encourage the roots to grow well by growing in root trainers.
I talk a little about two different types of root trainers and my thoughts on those and why I chose what I use. I show my autumn sown sweet peas and then we get on with sowing after first soaking the seeds the day before. Pro advice is to not soak or chit, I soak them because I always have done and it works for me.
