This year I put my sweet pea seeds between some sheets of wet kitchen roll on a paper plate. I put the whole thing inside a large plastic sandwich bag and put them in the windowsill. After one week every seed had germinated, it's the best method I have ever tried.

That is how I do it too!  ;)

What a good idea!  Unfortunately too late for this year, but I have put my Unwins seeds in pots on the kitchen windowsill and they are already germinating - hoorah!  :)

So glad it is not just me - everything else is developing nicely - but nary a sigh of the sweetpeas.  :(

I'm giving up on 'Little Angel' and will resow in the same containers.

I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days all attack me at once...

I'm going to try the same method with Bizzie Lizzie's because I always have difficulty with those seeds .
