February, Week 4

I have four varieties of peas in my seed collection. Ambassador and Terrain are the varieties that I have grown for the past few years, but for some reason I have picked up seeds for both Kelvedon Wonder and Rondo at some point over the past twelve months, and have decided to pre-sprout all four varieties to see which seeds seem strongest and keenest, as my ‘old faithful’ varieties are past the last sowing dates by about two years, but I think they are still going to prove themselves viable.

I have sown 15 peas of each variety after 12 hours soaking time. Hopefully I’ll see which seeds are viable and plant out the keenest varieties within the week.

April, Week 4

Two rows of pre-soaked peas (mixed varieties) sown directly into the bed.
