Peas and beans

Harden them off - -7 - 10 days of out in the day, back inside at night - then they can go outside.

They are both fairly hardy so I'd not worry that the plants were small. Good luck with them!

Can you just nip down and do mine too please...?

I've been asking the OH to lift mine out for about 3 days now, they'll be getting long and spindly soon!

Great news about your beans and peas appearing. It is a wonderful sight to behold!

I very nearly did the same thing to my broad beans looking for signs of life.
My raised bed sown Suttons have taken 24 days to appear. but just poked through today.

I was ready to dive in there and rummage!

The ones I sowed indoors took just about 3 weeks.
I put them out when they were this far on, and they've been doing fine.

My broad beans are Sutton as well. I'm leaving them well alone for now. no more rummaging. My peas are still little tidly things lots of root but not much up top if you know what I mean

Sorry Sarah you're a bit far away from me or I would honest

With the broadies I was amazed (well compared to most seedlings) by how much had been going on in there while I impatiently stared at the surface of the compost!

How long did your Kelvedons take to germinate? I just sowed some outdoors at the weekend. I can't wait!

They took about 2 weeks but they are indoors. The roots are already about 5 inches long

hi suzi
ive already planted out my peas but we are in the very south, hoping for no more frost. have got plastic bottles over to try and protect. we are also new to this planting lark so its trial and error but found this site today and seems helpful:

Podfather - not too worry, because peas are hardy.

**susiewoosie** · 14-04-2009, 06:38 PM

Podfather This site is brilliant. I've asked some really stupid questions and nobody bats an eye at me. Just as well coz I would probably run and hide

Hey TS that good to know about peas. Thanks. Are broad beans as well?

Yes.
But not runners or French.

**susiewoosie** · 14-04-2009, 06:48 PM

Thanks TS

Woo hoo! The Kelvedons I planted on Good Friday (10th April) have sprouted today. Can see 6 out of 12 so far.

It was a nice surprise when I got home from work

**susiewoosie** · 23-04-2009, 05:14 PM
