Planting & Sowing Instructions:
-
When to Plant: Plant your sweet pea seeds in early spring after the last frost. These seeds thrive in cooler temperatures and should be sown as soon as the ground can be worked.
-
Soil: Sweet peas prefer well-drained, loamy soil rich in organic matter. Ensure that the soil is slightly alkaline to neutral (pH 6.0-7.5).
-
Preparation: Before sowing, soak the seeds in water for 12-24 hours to help break their dormancy and improve germination.
-
Sowing: Sow the seeds about 1 inch deep in the soil. Space the seeds approximately 2 inches apart. If planting in rows, space the rows 12-18 inches apart.
-
Location: Choose a sunny location, as sweet peas need at least 6 hours of sunlight per day to thrive. They also benefit from support structures like a trellis or fence to climb on.
-
Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Sweet peas do not tolerate drought conditions, so regular watering is essential, especially during dry spells.
-
Care: Once the seedlings emerge, thin them to allow for proper air circulation and reduce the risk of disease. Pinch back the tops to encourage bushier growth and more blooms.
-
Harvesting: Once flowers begin to bloom, regularly cut them for fresh floral arrangements. Cutting encourages more blooming and helps the plants focus on producing more flowers.
Additional Tips:
-
Sweet peas are best grown in cool climates. In warmer areas, they can be grown as a winter crop.
-
For best results, avoid planting sweet peas in areas with heavy, clay-like soil or areas prone to excessive heat.
-
Use organic fertilizers to promote healthy growth without chemicals.
