More Sweet Peas

"Sweet pea beauty in my garden, sweet dilemma you bring too....Shall I clip your lovely blossoms, or save you for my stew?"    (Montana Blue)

That first vase of fragrant sweet peas just fills the room. Their latin name is "Lathyrus odoratus" . Easy to grow from seed. Too easy. Stuff the seeds in nice dirt, about April, in little rooting pots. Then just stand back and watch them grow. Good in all zones. They like the cool of the spring, and lots of sun when outside. Aphids sometimes like the sweet peas. Never really seen it as a problem. Sometimes, if the weather is weird.
   Doesn't matter.....so worth it.......every summer, without fail......
