I believe sweet peas prefer long pots like root trainers to get established rather than shallow trays. Like many others I start mine in toilet rolls as this means they can then be planted out in to larger pots without the roots being disturbed.

I'd sow a couple in a 3in pot, and if they both grow plant them out together when the time comes.
