Sweet Pea?

Does anyone know what's causing my seedlings to be growing at different rates? Some are 4-5 inches with only 1 set of leaves, some are only just showing. Also the leaves dont look too healthy. What have i done wrong?

Sweet Pea?
You have not at all necessarily done anything wrong. They often germinate at different rates; depending upon how hard the seed coat is. The lighter ones often have a very hard seed coat, although it depends upon the type. It varies. Also, it could depend upon what position they are in in the garden. If they get enough sun and water, they will develop accordingly, if they are in a poor spot, they are not quite as successful. I have been growing them for years, and they always germinate at different rates.You would have to tell more about what the leaves look like before I can say what is going on with them.





But the germination so far sounds like no problem.
Reply:be happy dont worry you have jumped the first hurdle your seeds are up and growing , let them be for a week and you will see better results as they mature
