    Dividing Sweeet Pea Seedlings

    Hi
    My daughter has bought me 4 pots of sweet pea seedlings from the garden centre. Each pot contains between 40 and 50 seedlings. I saw somewhere that I can divide these up.
    My question is how many seedlings should I split them into and should I do it now, wait a bit until they are bigger or do it when planting?

    Split them up now, as they get more established their roots will become intertwined and it will become more of a difficult job to seperate them.

    And when your back stops aching,
    And your hands begin to harden.
    You will find yourself a partner,
    In the glory of the garden.

      Thankyou bramble. How many do you think would be reasonable for each pot?

        I have about four or five in small pots ready to go in the ground later when frost have passed. I put them on my allotment last year and they were fantastic. I have loads of seeds to sow still.

          I'd try and get them into 4's, but don't worry if they come apart cleanly into 5's or 3's etc
