Sweet Peas, How To





Soon it will be time to plant Sweet Peas



We live in zone 3.  My seeds will be planted in the middle of March.

In warmer climates Sweet Peas should be planted in February. 


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





I gathered seeds from my garden a couple of weeks ago.  Not all seeds will germinate.  Place moistened paper towel and seeds into plastic bag.  Keep top open and place by window.





Besides collecting my own seeds I will be ordering from Thompson and Morgan.




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 are very sturdy and can be handled easily.





With this method, taught to me by our good friend Steven, the brilliant Lawyer, I have almost a 100% success rate. 


Give it a try this year, my dear Blogging Friends.
