Lathyrus odoratus

Oh my gosh! They do smell heavenly!! 💜 @kimguy I had no idea!!

Really? They are reknown for it. Great colour too 👍

@jeatacake silly, isn't it? Some times things seem obvious, but... 😉

Love the colour😍👍

I believe they are edible. Lovely in a salad!

Really??! Never knew that either @willows

They do smell heavenly! Yours are such a gorgeous color!!!

@daisy-jane 💕 these were probably my most favorite new addition to the garden. I planted them so I could see them outside the kitchen window. (So I could admire beauty while doing the dishes. Lol) Thank you ever so much! I'm saving seeds for next year. 😁

It's very pretty and a wonderful distraction from the task at hand ;-)

They smell wonderful👃

Okay, this is criminal. I never thought to smell them! Lol @kimguy

No it isn't. I'm surprised at how many times I miss out on smelling some flowers until people would ask about them on gtags. My back hates that motion of bending over! Lol @jennlamaye

@kimguy I think because of my allergies I just don't think of it. Lol

Beautiful Jenn I'm glad they done well for you,I have mine outside my kitchen window too 😁 and there's always plenty of seed to collect for the next season 😘👍

I don't think. That my problem. I stick my nose in and the allergies start. Meds help a little. Lol. @jennlamaye

#sweetpea are outside acclimating this week

Last chance on #sweetpea #seedlings ❤️ hoping these don't die on me before going outside.

@jennlamaye have u grew these before? Was reading these can turn brown in summer from the heat. Wondering how true that is as I'm hoping to be using sweet peas on my gazebo walls n ceiling but not sure if it will cover efficiently.. thx

@perennial_lover this is my first year with them but @daisy-jane or @Yollymac or @jeatacake might have information / advice 💕

Sorry I can’t help I really know only succulents very well. @cyndi @KelsiBriana May know. 😃

Hi Samantha @perennial_lover I'm no expert on these lol but I did grow them in a big trough planter last year up bamboo cane's,none of mine turned brown until they'd finished flowering,I kept them watered well so they didn't dry out,I think if your going to grow them up a gazebo and want height don't pinch out any growing tips like you would normally for them to bush out your probably better off leaving them intact but just putting more in to get a fuller look,what about wisteria or clematis

Good suggestion Jane! Thank you 💕 @daisy-jane

Your welcome hun,think a clematis or something like that would cover better, sweetpeas tend to look messy as they're going over 😁😘👍

@perennial_lover They are very vigorous & once established grow to 2 to 3 metres tall here. In northern UK climate they only starting die off in autumn. I just cut them right back & in spring they start again. As @daisy-jane says, if you want permanent cover, these are not the best choice.

#sweetpea second batch. Hopefully these will make it to the outdoors!

There’s those pretty cool sweet peas😊💕

Second batch of #sweetpea 💕 just in case...

Those are the best I wish I would’ve seeded some of those I’m looking for them I don’t blame you for “those just in case ones!” Great idea. There going to be beautiful hopefully alittle close to your porch they smell sooo pretty 😊💕

@terrimclaughlin first time good me trying to grow these. They actually grow on their own everywhere around here, but I love the smell. I do need to find a good spot to put them. @terrimclaughlin

#sweetpea holding on...

I have five #sweetpea #seedlings going from the seeds @daisy-jane sent me 💕

Yay Whoop whoop,so glad they sprouted for you Hun 😘👍👍

Thank you so much @daisy-jane 💕

You are very welcome lovely and thank you for the amazing seeds you sent me,just love receiving seed surprises 😍 and really love giving them too 😁😘👍

Happy little #sweetpea #seedling #grownfromseed 💕

Looking good & healthy 👍

@jeatacake two more coming up! So excited! Never grown these before!

Nice one Jenn 👍 They'll soon be growing away quickly

Yay!

#sweetpea #germination #seedling

Yay 💚💚

Whoop whoop!

From the seeds you refrigerated Jenn?

@bigemrg yep Ian! 💕 how are yours?

Nothing as of yesterday, but I'm not in a rush! Will check again next weekend! 😀

#sweetpea #germination of #seeds in two weeks of #stratification in the refrigerator.

That's interesting! I usually soak mine for 24-48 hours! I may stick them in the fridge this year! 😀

@bigemrg I read a couple different ways. This was interestingly successful. I normally soak too.

Ooh, did you wet them before refrigerating them Jenn? Think I'll start some off today! ☺

@bigemrg I wetted a coffee filter, put the seeds on it and folded it over, and placed in a ziplock bag in the refrigerator. 😉 Good luck! Let me know how it goes! It only took two weeks for mine to germinate. Quite surprising!

@jennlamaye - Brilliant! Thanks Jenn! Mine will be going into the fridge this evening! 😀

You are very welcome, Ian!

😀👍🏼 yay!
