Sweet Peas

 There is still time to get Sweet Peas started. 

  My seeds will be planted this week.

At least 2 to 3 weeks before planting start germinating seeds in a plastic bag.

  Place moistened paper towel and seeds into plastic bag. 

 Keep top open and place by window.

Check seeds a few times and rinse them in cold water  (to prevent  mildew) and return to plastic bag.  After  about 2 weeks your seeds will have sprouted and they are ready to be planted.  Sprouts look very tender but they are sturdy and are easily handled. 

"Wiltshire Ripples", everyone's favorite

 

It is the "odoratus"  and "fragantissima" varieties which have the most heavenly scent.  
Among the most fragrant Sweet Peas are the blue varieties.

Sweet peas love to be paired with other garden flowers.

"Molly Rilestone"  maybe my most favorite Sweet Pea.

Have a wonderful week dear friends.
