Sweet Peas

Hi gardeners. I have grown some sweet peas in a propagator on the kitchen window sill. They have germinated well so I have not potted them up three to a pot. I pinched out the growing tip when they had two or three sets of leaves, and even though they are now bulking up a bit, they seem still to be growing upwards very quickly. Do they need pinching out more than once is my question? Thank you

You can but it sounds like they might be being drawn up by a lack of light. Can you put them outside during the day?
I'd get them in the soil with protection now

Thank you both, I think I will put them out and cover with fleece on cold nights.
