    Hi All,
    Sowed some SweetPeas on Monday. I've never been **that** successful with them, example they're usually quite stringy - which leads to my question: When they've started sprouting, do I pinch them out please?

    Thanks loads,

    Springy

    When they have produced more than two sets of leaves you can then pinch the growing tip out to encourage the plant to bush out.
