Default Sweet Peas question

I have a lot of nice healthy looking sweet peas growing in a plastic
mini greenhouse.
At what point should I pinch them out, and when should I plant them out?
TIA

How do you read them then?

PS. Pinch the sweet peas when they have about 4 sets of leaves and it
shouldn't matter too much when you plant them out but wait until the ground
has unfrozen.

They should be pinched out after two or three sets of leaves and planted out
in March when the side shoots are looking nice and strong but not too tall
to make it a nuisance. They need a wind break at first, at least mine do,
you may be sheltered. I would not have them in a greenhouse as they are
extremely hardy and do not get leggy if you bring them on outside, sheltered
from the wind. Good luck
