If I plant some sweet peas now ( as recommended by Monty every year) will they germinate in an unheated greenhouse or would they need to remain indoors on a windowsill?

I have sown seeds of Sweet Peas in November, they have germinated and grown on in my unheated greenhouse. They don't need mollycoddling!

Don't forget to pinch the growing tips out if they start becoming 'leggy' and drawn so they bush up.

Thanks to both of you for your helpful advice.
I planted them today and they are now in the greenhouse. Monty said that by planting them early their roots will be stronger so I hope to see an improvement! This year my sweet peas were very disappointing - short stems and small flowers.

Good luck with them Chris!

I usually start mine off about now and they are in the unheated greenhouse. Keep barely moist or they will rot off. I put mine under fine mesh to keep hungry mice out!

Sbg, I will keep them covered up as we do have a problem with mice in the greenhouse in winter - they have eaten my bulbs in previous years! Thank you.
