Planting out peas.
« on: April 25, 2010, 12:10 »
I've got some of my pea's growing in modules in the greenhouse and they are about 2 inches high , will they be safe to put in the bed now ? I'm thinking frost.

Peas are quite hardy.  My first sowing of mange touts have been out for several weeks now.  It is more important to protect them from mice than the odd frost.

Yes, I would get them planted. I put my first lot out in the week The tops were about the same height as yours and the roots were getting really long and a bit pot bound.

I drectly sowed 2 rows about 10 days ago, a mixture of peas, sugar snaps and mange tout, and they have all germinated and are growing well now, but if yours have been in the greenhouse you might want to harden them off for a while?  the nights round here have been quite cold so it might be a bit of a shock to them otherwise.
