@cwaj the best way to sow sweet peas are, use soil based compost ie JI#1 without

fertilizer In a seed tray put !inch of compost quaurter inch Vermiculite water and spread

seeds on topand press down with piece of wood cover with glass and keep light out.

After 4 or 5 days you will find shoots appearing cover with same compost and leave them till they have 3 seaves on and then prick them out into 5inch pots 6 to apot or

into 3inch pots 3 to a pot Garddigger.
