Is anyone else having problems with direct sown pea germination this year? 

I sowed mine 4 weeks ago and only about 1 in 10 have grown of my favorite variety (Champion of England) and nothing at all from Misty and Delikat.  All have been under cloches, so its not birds and no sign of mice.  Just too cold I expect

Mine were slow to germinate. Now about an inch high but seem to have stopped.

I sowed some C Of E 11 days ago, they've been up a few days now and a really nice row.

As much as I like to sow early to avoid pea moth, the usual time of year may have been too cold and damp. It may have been an ill wind that I was late this year as the ground wasn't ready.

My Kelvedon wonder hasn't come up in the greenhouse in guttering or directly sown, usually no problem.  Nor 2nd attempt and nothing in the trays when I checked (not mice, I have a system  ), ditto the weird french named one I can't remember.  The asparagus pea made it though and is out doing ok. 
I've chucked in a few handfulls of KW and some sugarsnaps & mangetouts direct in last week in a final show of disgust.  No sign yet.
I thought I was just me

Mine are certainly patchy.  Going to try another lot tomorrow.

Direct sown ones had poor very germination, so I sowed a lot in bits of gutters, and some more in divided in 3 mushroom boxes, so I could lift them out and slide into the rows.
A real faff but at least I've now got some growing and strongly as well, now!

In the garden I only got 10 sugarsnaps up out of a whole packet - direct sown later - I've just ordered some more

I never direct sow peas.  I sow them in those plastic strip thingy' s, then plant the whole strips.  They've only been in the garden for a few days so far, but they are all looking good so far!

I planted some chitted/soaked peas (Early Onward) mid April and none showed. The Mangetout treated exactly the same were fine.

Resowed the peas mid-May and still waiting for them to appear.

[taytors]

Sowed some direct and some in greenhouse,there all out in patch now.
Only about half of them have come up got to about 2 to 3 inches high and seem to have given up
I thought it was the cold

[sowitgrowit]

My Champion of England are now about two feet tall - delighted with them so far.  I put clear plastic over them after direct sowing to keep them warm until germination.

Only one row though, so I didn't have too many to worry about.

Mine have been in for 10 days and are 2 inches tall and looking quite sturdy. I put my birthday present cloches over them which might have helped? 

[Chrysalis]

Mine are doing well in the climate, but the pesky sparrows are eating the lot!!   About 10in tall or more, but shredded.  A recently fledged brood are being fed by doting parents at my expense. grr 

[mrswashi]

Mine too 
Showed up really quickly, now just seem to haves stopped at about 2 inches
Hmmmm?

Glad its not just me!  Aldermans sow direct completely rubbish.  Champion of Englands sow in modules and planted out a couple of weeks ago are looking great.

[mrswashi]

Yes mine are aldermans maxibo!
