My mother was the “Queen of Begonias and Sweet Peas.” My Dad prepped her trench in the Fall with manure and loam so it was ready for early planting. She always planted her sweet peas on Washington’s Birthday. We celebrated Washington’s Birthday with a cherry pie and the sweet pea planting. 🤎All summer she brought bouquets into the house nearly every day!
She used to freeze her sweet pea seeds in ice cube trays. Then she planted the ice cubes and quickly covered them to control spacing! It worked like a miracle until that one year I came home from school and made a pitcher of koolaid.....😂😂
Great story!
Hilarious 😂
February planting, good to know. what zone was the garden in? cold zone? I'm in Zone 7 haha.
@@ArtByKarenEHaley Zone 8. Seattle!
Mmm, pea cubes. Delicious! 😂
This not fair Erin! You got me hooked on to Dahlias and now sweet peas! What’s next?! No end in sight!❤️
Clematis is next :) It's The Impatient Gardener Trifecta. :)
If you don't have root trainers, sweet peas grow well in toilet roll tubes which you can plant straight out into the ground when they have reached a reasonable height as the roll will bio-degrade.
Thanks! I wish I saw this post when I planted mine!
Love Sweet peas, my grandma would plant them every year for me, April baby. Now that I am retired and I growing my own Sweet Peas.
I picked sweat peas in flower fields for my mom when I was a child. I lived in a town called 'Lompoc' or The Valley of the Flowers. We have a Flower Festival each year in June. (Jamie) C.B.
Watching from a zone 7 and was laughing for a moment cause I was like "Great she skipped us, that can't be good" haha.
I am almost 62 years old but this really reminds me of my childhood (my grandparents had them in the garden), and can still smell in my head ... such a wonderful air, flower with full colors and looks great in a garden
I walked through a friend's garden last year and fell in love with the most amazing smell....it was her sweetpeas. So excited that mine are growing already for this year! Thanks for the great video!!
That smell! Once you experience it you never forget!
Thank you so much for showing us the butterfly! What a sign of spring! Your enthusiasm is contagious and we so appreciate that!
Perfect timing Erin! Such a great video. First timing growing from seed.
You made me want to try growing them. Love your videos!
This will be my first year growing sweet peas! Thanks for the great information!
I'm growing sweet peas for the first time this year! No seed soaking or nicking. Just potted them up in moist soil in tall containers and put the seeds in my cold, dark, attic. Ten days later, boom! Almost 100% germination. They're about 4" tall and I can't wait to see them bloom! :)
Excellent video Erin. Very detailed. All the info i was looking for

Hi Erin - really enjoying your videos. I am blown away by the sweet pea varieties you have access to and can't wait to see the update once they're in bloom! We are seemingly quite limited here in Canada with varieties. :-)
Perfect timing! Many thanks for demonstrating that pre-sprouting method. Those younglings look great! I'm going to test that method myself in a couple of weeks time.
Planting them for the first time. I've been walking around my property (in my head) thinking of every place I can plant them. Thanks for the great information Erin.
My sweet peas just started to bloom, love the scent.
Now I'm going to buy Sweet Pea seeds. Looking forward to planting them.
Thanks Erin! Planting this year for the first time. Not sure why I haven’t ever planted these before but feel well armed with knowledge and excited for the first spring visit to the garden shop!

-Will be starting mine soon in NY, first time for me for sweet peas!
Lovely video. Very informative
Hi Erin, Yay! Someone is finally giving helpful information for growing Sweet peas in zone 8 and up. I did finally figured out that I needed to start my seeds mid fall to early winter here in zone 10. I hope to get flowers this season - I have not yet taken the plants out of the root trainers. At about the time I was ready to do so, life interrupted my flow. However, I am getting back on track - almost there!
So happy for the warmer zone planting! I have a new folder with the sweet pea seeds for this fall. Also, never saw the root trainer planters b4! Thanks so much!
The entire video is wonderful!
Thank you for sharing this information
Excellent video! Thank you.
So informative....Thankyou for breaking this all down 👍🏻 you have excellent knowledge. I've picked up a few extra tips as I had a sweet pea disaster last year
Love Sweet Peas! Thanks😊
I had decided to try them for the first time this year. This video is perfectly timed and super helpful! Thanks, Erin! I am fixating on fragrance this spring, just planted two daphne and discovered the lovely scent of Stock just this past weekend. Look forward to adding Sweet Peas to the mix!
Just found your channel and your information was to the point, but so informative, I subscribed. Thanks so much!
Thank you for this information,I got my seeds started.I did find some grew but not all did,so I did buy a second pack.I can’t wait to plant & see how it goes😊
Yes, my first year growing sweet peas (like so many other commenters).
I'm excited to try it. See where it is happiest in the yard.
Thanks for great info!
I know this is from a year ago now but I’ve watched it about three times already (including today) bc it’s time to start my first seeds of 2022: sweet peas. Thanks, Erin!
My first year with them. Half in trainers, half in red solo cups!! Excited to smell them.
Excellent video. Thanks!
I’m growing them this year for the first time. I’m so excited! I never thought about just using bamboo - I was thinking I had to create this elaborate fencing system 🤦🏻♀️ ... thanks for that information! 🤪
Thank you so much for your tips in growing sweet peas! I grow them every year and is quite successful with them. As you suggested pick them as they flower to encourage more growth. I’ve made a lot of friends sharing sweet peas! Thank you again!😊
I'm in New Zealand and I'm going to have sweet peas growing in my garden, I had forgotten how beautiful they are in looks and smell. Thankyou
Good to watch! I'm always forgetting to plant peas out now. Still too cold to think about plants. 67 yesterday, 27 last night and 71/57 Friday. Crazy weather. I should have already had my pots going.
Just started my sweet pea seeds, so excited. First year growing them. They are something my grandpa always grew!
I just planted my first sweet peas too. They're 10 " tall now and I don't know if they'll thrive here in Central Florida. Sure wish they would!
Great video Erin. I wish I had more sunshine to grows these plants. You are right about them smelling wonderful. Nice work!
Thank you. Wonderful job
Thanks! My 1st to plant sweet peas
My favorite smell flower of all time
This is a very informative video for me. I have to go dig up some seeds tomorrow. I live in the Caribbean and planted sweetpeas once before without success. Now i realize that sprouting them makes a lot of sense. Thanks for the tips!
This was so informative...thank you! 👌
This was great! Thank you!
