Sowing Peas in Autumn

5 replies

I recently sowed some Autumn peas in my greenhouse, in little plug trays, and they have grown much faster than I anticipated!

what do I do with them now? Surely it’s too cold to plant them out in the ground and for them to survive winter?

I’m confused 🙈

They look really healthy.

If you pitch the growing shoot out at the tip they'll start to bush out a bit a grow more shoots.

Thanks for the tip, i’ll get to that 👍

Do I need to plant them on elsewhere? They are currently still in the little plug trays and i’m not sure what my next step should be 🙈

Keep an eye on the roots...Once they've started to fill/or show through the bottom of the little cell compartment they'll need potting on.. into 3 inch pots...or any deep tray/pots you have..

I've often potted on into those deep containers grapes come in, spead out in lines, don't over crowed the container
Sweet peas tend to like to let their roots grow long....As well as a healthy looking plant a good root system is what your after.

Brill thank you? So keep them in the greenhouse in pots until Spring I guess? Will they need a trellis, or will they not grow that much over winter?

Sorry for all the questions 🤭

Yes, greenhouse until spring.
I've never needed trellis.
