I expect you will have to harden yours off if you want to put them outside. Why not soak a few seeds now, overnight, and put them in because they will grow really well I expect. Gosh wish I could be more helpful. I must admit, am late putting in my peas this year, and they are soaking as I speak! They like lots of lime by the way, if you have any.Gardeningbrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10709940044197929905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3221106512530304517.post-52140280413380223852012-05-08T15:08:35.199-03:002012-05-08T15:08:35.199-03:00What a great blog!

I'm wondering about your current crop of Peas - are there any you are growing past the shoots stage? I have sugar peas growing out of control in my window and I'm wondering when it is safe to transplant them outside - do you have your crop out yet?nsraisedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14827795230311335387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3221106512530304517.post-34308181259611321392011-03-29T08:29:52.786-03:002011-03-29T08:29:52.786-03:00My husband and I always buy peas at the farmers ma...My husband and I always buy peas at the farmers market and eat them like candy. I didn't know about the young shoots and bet we would love them too.<br />I have always grown flowers, but as I read more blogs like yours I find myself increasingly interested in the idea of growing vegetables.

In fact, she recommended you use the dried peas from the supermarket. I tried it, I got a box for 35p & they were brilliant. They lasted me all year & I still have some left!!<br /><br />http://greenfingersmum.blogspot.comgreen fingers mumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15644326343694654657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3221106512530304517.post-55846248766725341912011-03-23T12:45:16.997-03:002011-03-23T12:45:16.997-03:00I had no idea that pea leaves were edible.
