Bailey!! I had tried and tried all the other methods – direct sow, soaking, nicking, etc – nothing had worked. Then I did your method and bam! Lots of strong sweet pea seedlings!! I was amazed how long the taproot was! Just transplanted them out to my beds (MN) and put up protection to keep rabbits and squirrels away. I wanted to thank you, thank you, thank you for your blog posts on sweet peas. Your advice was SO helpful!

Hi, Bailey, I am friend of your mom’s and when I saw your gorgeous flowers last night on Food Network with Thomas(so thrilled for him) I had to fond out more. Sweet Peas are one of my favorites!

Love the Sweet Peas! Your mom’s basket on Easter was beautiful. Wish I lived close to you.

Great blog on sweet peas! I direct sowed mine as a first time grower last October seeing as I’m in Arkansas! They did beautifully and all but 5 came up and I planted 65 varities. This year I have a much larger playing field and I will be growing 100 different varieties in my back yard but I’m going to try your starting in containers!! I think it will be much easier for me to control! Thanks for sharing your wealth of information and I’m looking forward to buying seed from you when they’re ready! Also, love the story of your grandmother and you honoring her memory by naming the farm after her. Tugged my heart strings!
