I remember one year planting Sweet Peas May 1. The plants grew well but I had not one flower. Sweet Peas need cold temperatures and a rich soil for them to bloom. They should do well in your area if you start right now. Most garden centers have beautiful sweet pea seeds right now. ox GinaGinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03429484235583035595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3305117665027937006.post-74699859702267822532012-01-24T15:13:39.783-07:002012-01-24T15:13:39.783-07:00Hi Gina,

The missing step is sprouting them so I will try that this year. I would love to have sweet peas in our garden!<br /><br />xo – gGeorgiannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02298718026210625558noreply@blogger.com
