ive got my peas out now and as ive grown them indoors they are pretty well established now perhaps 3/4 inch tall.however ive been told by one old chap that they will all die cos its way too early yet.do you think they are safe?

Hi Mum of 3,

I planted my peas last Tuesday evening under a cloche, some Early onward and some Hurst Grenshaft. I am really hoping to see some activity soon.

A bit of well-rotted manure and some mushroom compost to keep them fed!

I'll let you know how I get on!

best wishes
