When am I safe to put my sweet peas out
« on: March 30, 2019, 20:16 »
I have been hardening them off in my back yard for the last 2 weeks , they are about 4-6 inches long if I stretch them out. Still in their loo rolls. I’m in London and it’s forecast to get cold tomorrow night. Should I hold off ? Do they have any hardiness or would a frost destroy them? Thank you for your advice.

Sweet peas are hardy annuals so they won't die if they get a bit chilly.
I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days all attack me at once...

Harden them off before you plant them out.

They have probably been hardened off alright over the last two weeks, so plant them out as soon as you can, pinching out the top two pairs of leaves to help them branch out. I have some that have been out all Winter and are just fine
