Here's what I've done so far this year with the peas, using a new approach to thwart the birds/critters (i.e. not using the indoor peat pot method this year)...
- Soaked the pea seeds for 24 hours.
- Then, placed in vermiculite -- multiple layers, treasure hunt style.
- Within a few days, most had nice inch-long roots; so then (today) I planted them outside, directly into the soil. Didn't cover with anything other than soil. Will re-use the same vermiculite with the next batch, if this works.
So, now to see if they come up, or if the birds/critters still have a taste for sprouted pea seeds.
Based on the results, I'll start the next batch.
