I'd give them another week before you give up on them...

I'd carefully dig up a couple of trowel fulls of soil in the relevant place before I gave up hope - may well be they have germinated, but not showed above ground yet.

I would plant them amongst the peas,it’s only been about 9 days though,they like making a root for ages. Peas sowed around beans is a good idea,there’s always a little bit of space spare,have you noticed how well weeds grow next to beans,really lush tall weeds it’s a nice bit of nitrogen for any adjacent seed & it might as well not be a weed seed is my thoughts...

I reckon it's muck aa to when they went in, mine went in the ground second half of may and are slowly coming up. I wonder if the cloudy wet weather has put yours off

I wonder if weather as I also had a out 6 pea plants out of a full packet of seeds a couple of months ago. Too early to say if the ones I sowedlast weekend will appear.

It was a full packet, an 8 foot row down the side of the GH. Sowed on the 9th.
Only 4 peas have appeared.
Had a little dig, all the rest seemed to have gone to mush!
So hoed the lot in along with a flush of weed seeds.
Will plant my Cobra bean plants in place.

After 3 attempts I managed to get my Hurst Green Shaft to grow in the front border.
Cuthberts seeds, looks like 100% germination.

I usually chit my peas for a few days in a plastic box, even if I am then going to sow them direct.
