Hi

I am a bit of a garden newbie, so could do with some advise. Have
decided to atempt to grow sweet peas from seed.

I always soak mine overnight in cold water and I never bother planting
them until Spring. I don't grow to exhibit and the results are good
enough for me. I think the idea behind Autumn sowing is to get a
really strong root system, hence the special "root trainers" they are
grown in. Too much of a fag!
