Sweet Pea Gardens

Found via Maine Gardener: Sweet Pea Gardens. They only sell seeds and books via mail order, but if you’re going to be in the area, they sell lots more than just sweet peas (though that’s a very good start).

I’ve always wanted to grow sweet peas along the chicken fence. I did try one year but they didn’t do much. I think I need to amend the soil significantly before they will do well, and I’ll have to dig all the poet’s narcissus out of that area before I can amend. Yeah, one of these years . . . it’s that kind of a project. This website has a lot of specific cultural information, so, if like me, you’ve had trouble, give this site a read before you give up.

When dealing with frost it is always best to be paranoid. In the spring never think it is too late for one more frost to come. And in the fall never think it too early.

Thanks for your advice about the problem with my blog. I’m still looking for a solution, but I’ve got a few more inklings about what is going wrong. Thanks again for your help!
