 Flowering
Sweet peas
Early Spring is a good time to put in your flowering
sweet peas. They love the cooler days and cool nights. They will do fine if
we get any frosty mornings. If the weather should take a turn to winter
again they will just put in a better root system and when it warms up again
they will just take off and you will be very happy with the Spring show.
You can also put in edible peas in October and November.
They will winter over and you will get an early harvest in Spring. Be
sure to plant them in a sunny location and some may need some support.
