  If you want to know anything about sweetpea growing then there is a lot of reading matter on this thread
  
  
  
  They are very hardy annual- so no it is not too cold for them-snip down to just above a leaf-node to encourage branching.

  Take out the top pair of leaves - you should have two or three pairs left.
  Yes, you can put them in your cold greenhouse. Provided that it's not very frosty and you're not in a very cold part of the country, you can start hardening them off come March and plant them out by the end of the month - they are perfectly hardy.
