Sweet pea Lathyrus odoratus

Went into the garden yesterday and noticed the sweet pea seeds I had sown in the autumn. They are now small plants about 1 or 2 inches high.

Sweet peas sweet smell pretty, climbing up fences or trellises. The cut flowers look good in flower decorations or in a summer bride’s bouquet
Seeds can be grown Autumn or spring I have sown mine in a small pot, need to pot then on soon as they are getting to big for their pot. I think I shall put some in the tub in the front garden and they can climb up the fence others I might grow along side some runner beans up a wigwam in the veggie patch. Sweet peas need support to grow up a fence, a wigwam, pea stick’s or a bush my dad grows his on sticks along a path in the garden where the scent the garden on a summers eve.
Sweet peas like the sun like open spots and well-drained soil the plants need dead heading to encourage continuous flowering. Water in dry spells and apply liquid feed fortnightly in the flowering period.
Sweet peas can be bought as the tall peas or as a dwarf plant these dwarf need little or no support. There is a perennial sweet pea a wild plant, which can be difficult to contain in a garden I want to grow one in the hedge at the end of the garden..

Mmm I am dreaming , summer sun, flowers, Snow is still on the ground Still I can dream of to look in a seed catalogue soon I think. Lol mary
