I adore folklore about when to start plants. One thing I do not understand is why so many people want to grow dwarf vine plants. The sky is the limit even if ground space is at a premium. I guess the pain of installing climbing structures is the reason.

Today, March 15, I'm headed out to see if the ground has thawed and maybe see how wet the soil is before I plant. But rethinking, perhaps a little pre-dawn adventure planting sweet pea seeds might be fun!Linda L.

I wonder if sweet peas would do well here in Florida? I've never thought about growing them here since we don't have a fence or trellis. Those shorter varieties you suggested might work if they can stand the heat, which will begin showing up in another month or so.walk2writehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13501812375142037251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4274393531253464864.post-69222412437281526412010-03-15T02:13:23.213-07:002010-03-15T02:13:23.213-07:00Dear Terra, I love this idea of the Irish traditio...Dear Terra, I love this idea of the Irish tradition of planting Sweet Peas under the cover of darkness - something about which I had not heard of until now.<br /><br />Whatever, they are a simply lovely flower and I do so like them thrust into vases around the house in summer.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4274393531253464864.post-58596129041209581642010-03-14T20:44:10.905-07:002010-03-14T20:44:10.905-07:00A new tradition, worth repeating across many lands...A new tradition, worth repeating across many lands.Rosaria Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03133147851332084180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4274393531253464864.post-33048580087702809592010-03-14T18:47:50.548-07:002010-03-14T18:47:50.548-07:00I'd never heard of this tradition and had no i...I'd never heard of this tradition and had no idea what sweet peas looked like.
