rather high up on a south facing wall.
My plan is to put them in transparent sandwich bags and hang them from a
shelf I have on that wall so that the plastic stays upright and doesn't
get flattened by wind or rain. This should give them 6" or so of growth
before I plant them out in March. I also have a serious snail problem
and hopefully they won't find their way into the bags.
Is this crazy or flawed in some way? I'm sure it is.

My experience is that, although snails love the pea family in general, sweet peas, along with culinary peas and broad beans, are relatively unattractive to them.
