We started ours inside a greenhouse in gutters. So far even with temps reaching down to 25 we are still doing well. We did cheat the system a bit by using roofing heat rope but it certainly works.

Mice are only a problem when you first sow since they like to make away with the seeds in the dead of night - little tinkers! The pigeon thing could be a problem but to be honest they're more interested in cabbages etc and plants with larger leaves that they can easily get hold of. You can always net them if you're worried.

Keep up the good work! I sowed my first ever crop of peas indoors and they have taken well. They are a climbing Pea Amelioree d'Auvergne from realseeds.co.uk. I'm about to plant them outside. Do they need any protection from pests? I heard Pigeons and mice can be a problem. Hi, I’ve been looking for a good veg blog to guide me through the coming months. Keep up the good work!

Discovered your brilliant blog a few weeks ago and have been catching up on the last couple of years. Loved the pea picture as am growing my own for the first time - although not completely going to plan. Sowed 1st dozen - waited 3 weeks - nothing appeared. Did another lot - this time following advice to pre-soak. Lot One apeared after 3 1/2 weeks and lot Two appeared after 1 week. Not quite the succession crops I was after but as a pea novice am prepared to accept any success! Hi mtp.

Brilliant tips and some rather fine photography. I wonder, do you keep the guttering sowed peas in a greenhouse or do you leave out in the elements? cheers! Great site!
