Why are my pea seeds not germinating?
The soil was too wet or too dry:
Too dry, and your seeds won't germinate. Too wet, and they're liable to rot. Ensure that seeds are kept evenly moist by thoroughly wetting and draining the compost before you begin.
How long does it take for peas to germinate?
Spacing Requirements: Seeds should be planted at a depth of ½–1 inch and between 2–3 inches apart. Space rows of peas at least 18 inches apart. Time to Germination: Typically germination occurs between 7 and 14 days.
What do I do if my seeds don't germinate?
If the soil in your seed trays, containers or planting areas is too dry, you should be able to see or feel this fairly easily. Water well, taking care not to wash your seeds away or push them too deep into the growing medium, and your seeds may well still germinate in time.
Why are my peas growing so slowly?
Weather has a huge impact on the growth and productivity of peas, which can grow fast or slow, depending on how much sun and warmth the plants receive. In the US, for example, garden peas grow faster than they do in the UK because cool, cloudy weather slows the plants down. Warm weather has its drawbacks, too.
Should you soak pea seeds before planting?
Some pea (Pisum sativum) seeds will look wrinkled. Most of them have hard coats, and all benefit from soaking before planting. Soak them overnight in warm water. This will expedite the germination process.
How quick do peas grow?
Different types of peas mature at different rates: First earlies are sown from March to early June and will be ready to pick in 11 to 13 weeks. Second earlies are sown from March to June and are ready in around 14 weeks. Maincrop cultivars are sown from March to June and take up to 16 weeks.
How do you speed up pea germination?
Peas take 7 to 30 days to germinate. Peas will germinate faster if soil temperatures are 65 to 70 degrees Fahrenheit. You can speed up the germination process by soaking the peas for 24 to 48 hours before planting.
How do you make peas germinate faster?
Instructions

What month do you plant peas?
The key to growing peas is to plant them early enough in spring so they mature while the weather is still cool. This means planting in February, March, or April in most parts of the United States and Canada.
Will 20 year old seeds grow?
There is a good chance that those old seed packets will have a high percentage of seeds that will germinate just fine. Most seeds, though not all, will keep for at least three years while maintaining a decent percentage of germination. And even a group of very old seeds may have 10 or 20 percent that still sprouts.
Why won't my cucumber seeds germinate?
Planting a cucumber in the cool season when the days are shorter, if it even germinates, it probably won't grow until the night-time temperatures are at or above 50 degrees and the day light is longer. Seeds can rot in the ground if the conditions aren't right to germinate.
