Should you use heat when sprouting these seed on damp paper or not.

Don't have much in the way of windowsills in my house, but I have a propogator with a lid, on top of my boiler - the propogator's not otherwise heated but sitting at about 60, would this be too warm?

Don't want to cook them

Thanks

The peas I sowed a few weeks ago are now up they are in the ground under a cloche.

They'll be fine without direct heat and they don't need light at this stage. And they can be sown direct where they are supposed to grow. They might need a bit of protection later in the year when it gets really cold. Your only worry at the moment might be pigeons who will nibble the tops once they emerge so a bit of netting or the holly leaves trick will be a good idea.

Would you get an early crop of pods if you sowed mangetout peas now? The packet o the Norli ones i have say's to sow in march but i would love an early crop if i could get one out o them.
