The message . 145
from Davy contains these words:

On 30th March, when the soil was nicely warmed, I planted
a couple of rows of peas into a raised bed warmed by a
fleece cloche. I watered them copiously as recommended cos
the peas are dried and need to dehydrate.
Now three weeks later only 10% germination.

Digging down I find that the pea seeds have swollen into
blobs of green slime.

Is this a common problem? What should I do differently? I
have had no problems the last two years with a different
variety from a different supplier.

Soak peas.

Put in container of moist compost in a warm plave.

They will shoot in less than a week, if memory serves.

Plant when they have put down a quarter-inch or so of root.
