Soaking Peas and Broad Beans

After a couple of weeks wait, none of my meteor or normal dried peas had germinated.  I chitted a couple (like sweetcorn) & both types were up in no time. A third of the normal dried peas in paper tubes are now up, and only 2 meteor are up, so I'm chitting a load more meteor now too.

I forgot to mention, they're not in the ground, they're in my mini greenhouse, as you say D.D., too cold yet 

Thanks DD, I'll wait until end of March 

Soaking them for 2 days and then letting them dry out may not have done them a lot of good.

If they have started sprouting then let them grow, you just have to be patient

I wonder how many people think mice have stolen their peas/beans, when the truth of the matter is they sowed soggy wet seed, into soggy wet ground, when it was far too cold for them to germinate before they rot away.

Just a thought.... 

Well I'm absolutely gutted. ALL my peas were a mush when I dug them out. Broad beans seem to be growing. Kelv wonder and Hurst all rotted except one. Thats nearly 4 weeks growing time lost for peas. Had to sow some more but doubt I will have them in time now. I will NEVER EVER soak peas or beans again before planting. It's a waste of time.
