Kym. do you pre-soak your peas? Get an old jar put 50mm of tepid water in it, throw in the peas leave overnight, drain the next morning and repeat morning and night til the radical root appears (about 3-5 days). Then pot them 2 or 3 to a 100mm pot, keep in a warm (not too hot or cold) spot and in 7 days you should get 80+% germination. I got 99 out of 100 Blue Bantams doing it this way (BTW these are now 1.7m tall not too bad considering these are "dwarfs")
