Peas
in Fruit & veg
I've seen articles telling us its time to start sowing peas outside. Now I've never had the best of luck direct sowing for reasons unknown but I have a feeling a small wiskered squeaker is to blame! Now I started some off in greenhouse on gutter to transplant, when would be the best time to do so as they are a bit more hardy than the beans? Also broad beans ????

Have you hardened them off? If not, I'd start doing it now. Mine have been outside for a couple of (still in their guttering) under a cloche in the raised bed they're due to go in, same with broad beans (in modules). I thought that I could kill 2 birds with 1 stone, harden them off and warm the soil!
Was going to plant them out today, but got rained off. Also, I'm in South Devon, with a walled garden, so I think conditions here may be more hospital than your neck of the woods.
put them out!ive put mine out a couple of days ago,and theyre fine.direct sowing never worked for me,i think the mice/birds/whoever steel them.gutters are the way to go.im sowing climbing peas too,ive grown them before.broad beans too get them in!!
weathers warming up!
Thank you
Goodluck
