Sweet peas sown 5/21 sprouted yesterday. That’s 12 days. Need to remember for next year.
Sweet Peas Up
A garden raised from seed is a garden raised in the heart, the gardener growing along with the garden.

Hi Kathy,
How are your sweet peas doing? The ones I planted from seed are up but growing very slowly. The ones I started inside in March (which in hindsight was too early!) are flowering or about to flower. This is my first year growing them in zone 5b, so I’m happy with any success.
The tallest sprouts are about a foot tall. Hmm, it just occurs to me that last year I pinched them to make them more bushy. I wonder if it’s too late to do that? I’ll have to check that sweet pea book out of the library again.

Living here in the western Rockies, the growing season is about 52-54 days long. Maybe. We plant the 1st of June. Get most of our seeds from Vesey and Burpee – the short season varieties.
