oh, so its still not too late to sew directly out? even in pots? maybe i'll try that. i'm soooo tempted to go and buy plugs as i'm desperate for a beautiful flowers this year but i think the satisfaction will be so much higher if I grow from seed.
Orchard Lady, indeed I am a female (mum of 2 toddlers) so i think i'm just used to things being dependent on me and not used to the independence of sweetpeas .
maybe i'll go and buy some bonemeal, prepare some soil and sew a fresh batch and hope for the best. I had a look at the Eagles website that i think David K recommended and was going to purchase to sew in autumn like you.
That's exactly the point David was making. I think Snowdrop LOL. I am a of mum of 2 boys but not toddlers (unfortunately!) they are 15 and almost 13
Eagles is where I got mine from. I think it may be getting a bit late but I'm still going to sow some, it's not as late as last year for me as I thought you had to wait until after frost (ie end of May), it's no wonder they were rubbish!!
I got back from a fortnight away and found young plants in the pots where I'd sown the sweet peas. I've pinched them out and am now hardening them off before planting out next week. Thanks for your help David and others.

No wonder I have patience, no wonder do I want you people to succeed.....I could get drunk on your enthusiasm.
Believe me, I do appreciate how confusing it must be when some plants need TLC (frost tender etc) and others (like sweet peas) can be ruined by it.

I MUST remember to sow them in the autumn!
