Do not let them soak any longer than this. The next day, plant them about one half inch deep in soil and water them well once. Put a sheet of newspaper over them or put them someplace fairly warm; such as on top of the refrigerator. Check them after about 5 days and do not water them again unless they are in danger of drying out. If they are damp, that is fine. When they start to come up you can water regularly each week and put them in full sun once they appear. When they are up about three inches or so and have three sets of leaves, you can transplant comfortably. Settle them in, water well, and guard against slugs and snails until they get up about 6 to 8 inches. It is best to put your supports up when planting the starts, then just tie them in as they grow. Do not fertilize until the first flush of blooms, then give low nitrogen food (tomato food is fine!) and pick them regularly.<br /><br />I have been growing sweet peas for many years and many of them!hopflowernoreply@blogger.com
