I sowed a few varieties a few weeks ago. One variety has not germinated at all, even though I have sowed it three times already :( maybe I should cut the seed a bit, like you said, to help it.

Hi Laitae, sweet peas have hard seed coats so when people nick them with a knife this breaks the seed coat and speeds up germination. You can also soak the seeds for 24hr or put them on a damp paper towel which will should also help things along. You can also bring them inside or under cover, this will increase the soil temp which will also speed things up 😊
