Sweet Peas - seedlings

Hi all, I sowed my sweet peas early March, and most have germinated but they are looking quite pathetic and yellowy-green! I sowed them in seed compost, should I start to repot them in general compost, any ideas? Oh I should say they live in the greenhouse. Temperatures vary from -2 - 48 degrees!!

Are the roots poking out the bottom of the pot?
Sounds like they need potting on.
Yes the roots are poking out, i'll pot them on then this weekend, that's another job! Thank you!!
They sound hungry. Seed compost is low on fertiliser. Need potting on. Sweet peas are quite hardy, but they won't like 48°! Pot on then harden them off as soon as you can.
Thanks Busy-Lizzie, will definite do as you say!
Have a look also at David K's thread on sweet peas. He's our resident expert, although he'd deny that!

...having said that, I can't find it! Anyone know where it's gone?
I've just been trying to find the thread, so if anyone does know where it is, please can they let us know...... Thank you!!
Just bumped it Steve.
Mine have been a dead loss so far. I sowed them in the autumn and left them out in a sheltered place. They got leggy, despite pinching out - my yard is just too dark I think, and also waterlogged. I've been away for three weeks now - they're probably dead!
So much easier in spring
