Sweet Peas
6:00 AM
When we cleaned out the laundry room last summer I found a bag of seeds. The majority of them were sweet pea seeds. Sweet Peas are one of my favorite flowers. (I have a lot of favorites). Their scent is just that. Sweet. And look at those colors. Aren't those beautiful? Now is the time to plant sweet peas. They like the colder temperatures and can be planted as soon as the soil can be worked.
So my little helper and I set out to get these seeds ready. I cut open the packages and my assistant poured them into a plastic cup. Sweet peas have a hard coating and for better germination should be soaked over night. We had a couple of varieties of seeds- long climbing plants and a container variety. The climbing ones were all different colors and we mixed those in the glass to soak.

What a cute little assistant you have! Those flowers look really pretty and I am curious to see how many will germinate for you being so old.
