Omg! Sometimes living out in the 'country' can be a disadvantage...
I have to drive 20 miles up the mountain to get to town or head 25 miles down the mountain to get to the City... sooo...
I have hit 5 different places in search of 'Sweet pea" seeds... and have come up with Bupkis, Nada, Zilsch!
I hit the Garden/feed store, our 2 markets, the True Value store up the mountain, I even hit the Dollar store in hopes...all they had were some veggies and lots of morning glories...,,, so on a recent trip down the mountain I stopped in at the WallyWorld (walmart) and the Home Desperate (Depot) stores and not a single pack of sweet pea seeds...
I know it's late in the season to plant them but we still have cold nights and warm days so I would like to plant a few anyway...
'Sow' does anyone have a few spare sweet pea seeds they could spare? 5-6 , what ever will fit in a small envelope...
I would be so gratefull.
if not, I will check in around the mid summer to see if anyone has any harvested seeds... that I can beg off of them. (or swap)
I just love sweet peas,,,

Hey Kathy,
glad you are enjoying the little goodies I sent...
I luv yoyos,,, and yep attaching them to a head band would be cute...
I once sewed a bunch of yoyo onto a pair of rubber flip flops and they kept falling off as I walked around the campground... lol!

Grace,
My seeds came a few days ago. Thank you for the marigold seeds and for the little extras you tucked in. I used to carry a hanky all the time so with your help I will start again. I'm a yoyo newbie so I'm thinking of ways I will use them, maybe put a few on a hair band and maybe make a pin for one of my denim jackets with the other.
Thanks again,
Kathy

I can hardly wait, we have about 3 more weeks before I can safely start planting outside, so I am sprouting the seeds, a batch per week, so that come May, I will have a garden full of sweet peas, Moonflowers, Hiacynth bean, and other goodies for my garden blooming at different times.
heeheehee!!!

OMG! Kathy, Thank you.. I can hardly wait...
We had a bit of a freeze last night, and go figure, I didn't check the weather forecast, so my 3 Fig Tree seedlings took a hit, the leaves are wilted and droopy, I am just hoping the tree itself will survive... I guess I will wait 2 or so more weeks before any seeds propergated go outside.
Well faschnizzles! don't cha just hate droopy leaves?!? lol!
Hope you are back to your better self, don't over do....
:>)

Grace,
Dental problems last week (I'm such a baby about these things) and I work part time as a photographer and had a wedding and two other shoots over the weekend but your seeds were mailed out on Tuesday. I kept a few of the sweet pea seeds and am excited about trying them.
I also sent you some moonflower, garlic chives, and lemon basil seeds. Hope all grow wildly for you.

ok, all my house guests have left,,, everything is back in order and I have sent out proper 'Thank you' via the mail...
Today I set up my seed soaking station, so hopefully the seeds will split and send out a shoot, and then I can plant them in peat pots, until they are a few inches tall and then outside they go.. I can almost smell them!
Thank you for sharing your seeds with me.

Grace,
Picked up a packet of seeds today-they do look like fun so I'm going to plant a few myself.
I have a few other seeds that I saved from my plants last year, if your interested in any let me know and I will send them along too.
I know I have moonflower vine (my favorite-I find somewhere to plant this every year) and garlic chives. I probably have basil, lemon basil, parsley, and flat leaf parsley.
Email me your address and I will try to get this out on Monday.

Oh my, I just did a search on "Knee High Sweet peas"...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
" Flower Garden-Tips on Growing Sweet Pea From Seeds
Germination: DO NOT COVER SEED; 75-79°F; 5-7 days Finely cut leaves are topped with rich, soft colors . Great in a mass planting and as a cut flower. Zones 3-9. • Planting depth: Surface
•Soil temp for germ.: 60-70°F
•Days to germ.: 7-21
•Plant spacing: 8"-20"
•Days to maturity: 2nd year perennial
•Full sun
•Water less, drought tolerant
•SOW INDOORS
•Sow indoors 8-10 weeks before the last frost. Do not cover seed, as light aids in germination. Transplant outdoors after danger of frost is past, thin to 8-20". Germination period is 7-21 days at 60- 70ºF
•GARDEN HINTS: Full sun, average well drained soil. Can be used for cut flowers or as dried. Use in perennial beds and mass plantings "
I have never seen these... interesting,,,

Grace,
I was at my favorite seed store today and they had a few packs of Sweet Peas. The only variety they had was called knee high. If you would like some let me know.
