Autumn Sown Sweet Peas | Grow now for stronger plants | Eagle Sweet Peas | Green Side Up
I have conflicting advice for you here, conflicting against myself. I grow sweet peas twice a year in spring and autumn, In spring I use root trainers and soak the seed, in autumn I dont think root trainers provide enough area for the plants to grow, so I use a much bigger pot and sow dry seeds, find out more in the video...it'll all make sense then.

Really good information, Steve. I'm enjoying your sage advice since I'm a "sage" 👩🌾👍
Thank you so much! This is my first attempt at sweet peas.
Thanks Steve, great info and video👍👍👏👏
Great video Steve I’ll try your method planting early many thanks
In all my years plotting. I have never done this! Im going to give it a go! You're one of the youtubers that have inspired me to start my own channel this week! Love your show. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Danny
New to your channel - we are first time allotmenters and are only 6wks in. We are finding your videos very informative ;I bought some sweetpea peas yesterday, watched this video and have taken your advice- planting them tomorrow. Thanks.
Hi Jane and welcome here, Sweet Peas are such a delight...my favourite flower above all others!...Steve...😃
I didn't know I could start sweet peas now, thanks.
You are welcome John...Steve...😃
Cracking vid Steve.
Know exactly what you mean about different websites giving different advice which is why I come here to get the best advice!
I dont know about best advice, but it is what I do or what works for me and I am liable to change like a traffic light...Steve...😃
Hi Steve, talking about confusing and conflicting advice, the latest Amateur Gardening magazine has a piece on sweetpeas which includes this gem: “don’t sew in the autumn in the north as winter light levels are not good enough”. Ever heard that one before? And “north” of what: England, the UK, Europe, where? 🤪
Thank you Steve, I now appreciate the long and short stems situation. Great information !
You are welcome Joan...Steve...😃
Yes then Steve 👍👍👍
Good masterclass Steve. Let's hope we don't get the lengthy periods of low temperatures we had this year. You've reminded me I must sow my sweet peas!
Thanks Anna, and you have reminded me I must get some more fleece before I forget and get caught out again. I lost a lot of flowers plants in that cold spell early this year, just by taking my eyes of things for one day/night...Steve...😃
Lovely video Steve I’m going to take your advice and give that a go 😀 thanks for uploading mate, have a good week and stay safe David 👍👍
I have seen something similar on Am azo n. Nursery bags they're called. Never thought of starting sweet peas off now. Thanks for the info.
😪 Missed your intro. Love your channel 🤗
Good one Steve.
Cheers Collie...Steve...😃
Thanks Steve I love sweet peas but have never grown them. There's a First time for everything so will give them ago. Take care.
I planted Fava beans 2 weeks ago. Looking great
I would have mixed up the seed and taken my chances at a blended colour surprise 😂😂. I think everything looks fantastic and so lush still behind you. ✌️🐝🇨🇦🐝 safe Ali
Great stuff as always Steve. I usually just sow in Spring for the garden but having seen this (and others) sowing them now, I will start a few for a wigwam for the plot next year for cut flowers.
You will be rewarded with much better plants Norman...Steve...😃
Great video . Keep them coming.
I will Susan...Steve...😃
I'm..sowing my sweet peaas muuch laaer than last year...by time I planted them out in March!!!t hey were really big!!! Nightmare so probably only to grow in Jan in my greenhouse.
Oh dear, I must be the only person who doesn't like the smell of sweet peas! I do grow them though on the allotment for any pollinators that may visit.
What pen do you use on your plant labels please.I have tried quite a few and they all seem to wash off when I water my plant.Thank you.
I would like to know too, i have the same problem.
Try Artline Garden pens available for Amazon
I have tried many over the years, in the last couple of years, sharpies have worked well but do fade towards the end of the season. I am now trying another garden marker from Artline, they come highly recomended by fellow plot holders on my allotment site. I bought a 12 pack so I could make sure I have one in every tunnel and or coat/jacket, extreme I know but it ensures my test will be complete. So far so good, but I only got them a month ago. This is a link to a twelve pack but you can use the information to buy a smaller quantity amzn.to/3FKl7iS It should be noted I have tried many types of pens pencils and labels over the years and I have never yet found a perfect combination for what I need and ask of the systems...Steve...😃
Thank you now ordered
I tried this end of ‘23 and it just hasn’t worked for me😔 Gave up after 3 attempts 🤷🏻♀️ This was with different brands and followed instructions on Eagle Sweet Peas ( Those little bags they sell for planting on their website are biodegradable , which is great! ) I think it’s because it’s so warm this winter but they germinated quickly with no soaking or faffing and then they take off into weedy pale leggy plants 😭 Fingers crossed I can get it right in spring!!😅🤓
Steve I did this and they’re thriving…thank you!! When can I plant them out?
I love those pots you are putting those seeds in. Where can I get some? I can use some of those!
Great video again Steve, can I ask how often would you water them after soaking initially, would you suggest from the bottom or continue from the top, I’ll be putting them in my non heated greenhouse through the autumn, thanks 👍
Hi Steve another great video i don't know if you got your poly pots from the same place but i got mine from Elixir garden supplies if that helps Andrew Masson below
Great video, I've tried my own seeds for winter, not sure if there survive, but will buy new once for spring.
Sweet peas can be quite hardy Mark, down to -5 I think it is...Steve...😃
@@GreenSideUp oh OK, to be fair this this the first year I managed to get them to grow lol. So hopefully I can succeed again
Hi Steve, did you not get the poly pots from Eagle Seeds themselves? I've just bought my seeds from them following your earlier video, and I bought the pots to go with them - they're on their website
Thanks for this advice, I followed this in October and now all my sweetpeas have appeared, is there anything I need to do between now and spring. I don't want to lose them do I pinch them out or wait. Thanks for your informative channel 👍
Hi Steve do you use heat in the polytunnel?
Steve I harvested my own seed a few weeks ago it been in the greenhouse since will it be ready for Autumn sowing
They should be Ged, as long as they where not a modern variety, a Hybrid or F1 type can give undesirable results...Steve...😃
Were did you get the eagle sweat peas
Thanks Sreve for the video ,how much water do you give them once they germinate ?
Hi Steve, what's the size/capacity of the poly pots you're using? Is there any particular reason you use them rather than regular square plastic pots? You make a good point about the sweet peas running out of feed by early spring - other videos and articles on autumn sowing hardy annuals never seem to mention this. I've been using the osmocote slow release granules mixed into the compost but even so I sometimes have to pot them on again in Feb to keep the plants healthy whilst waiting for the ground to be warm enough to plant out.
Hi Andrew, I have been frantically searching away for where I bought these polybags originally and I cannot find a trace. They are 1/2 litre size and are approx 4 inch square when filled, nearly 5 inches tall. I use the polypots simply to make it easier with stacking multiples together in trays. 4 inch pots I think would work well, whilst 3 inches I think would be too small. Tony over at Simplyfy gardening has just posted about using root trainers to sow in, he is not too shabby at gardening 😁😁 th-cam.com/video/Sw6416EDzZU/w-d-xo.html . I use the bigger pots because I dont want them to run out of steam, they will still need feeding and sometimes even potting on, I will do that in January if needed...Steve...😃
Hi Steve, so they're in an unheated greenhouse? I've only ever started them in spring.
Yes they should be fine in an unheated greenhouse unless the temps drop too much...Steve...😃
@@GreenSideUp How cold is too much? Nights to -7C are common here. I’d love to start sweet peas this fall but I only have cold frames and low tunnels plus an unheated shed.
Just out of interest, what do your neighbours think about you constantly chatting away to your camera?
