Was she still virgin Olive Oil?
If Olive Oil in the Popeye cartoon was given an urinalysis, would she have a little sweet pea?
You know it. She is definitely no longer virgin Olive Oyl. She got rather Blimpy over the past 9 months. I think I saw Popeye getting kinky with her feetsies the other day too. He blu-to after toe until she giggled and said she was craving spinach. I think they were both car-toon the act!

Why are my sweet peas dying?
they were alright to start with now the leaves are yellow
Why are my sweet peas dying?
In hot,dry spells sweet peas need lots of water and nutrients. If grown in the garden without water and nutrients the leaves will turn yellow. Grown in a tub (that retains water) they will thrive (in current weather conditions).
Reply:They have probably gone to seed
Reply:they are a cool weather plant, when it gets to hot they die out,
Reply:Not enough water hun...they need tons of the stuff every day..also..once they start flowering..keep picking then..then you will have flowers blooming all summer!
Reply:Sweet peas love lots of water.
Reply:They need plenty, plenty of water + a good feed, Miracle Grow or similar. If grown in pots, there may be no nutrients left in soil.
Also pick any dead flowers off, to stop them going to seed.
Reply:my sweet peas grow in containers, and they do great. my tricks:
- water well every evening, even if it was raining (check to be sure: soil needs to be moist)
- once a week water with diluted tomato %26amp; veg food
- cut the flowers as soon as all buds on the stem are opened
- sweet pea likes 'head in the sun, feet in the shade', so i planted a mix of lobillia and poppies to cover the base of the plants: it looks great and also helps in keeping the water balance
good luck!
Reply:water to much or none the sun
Reply:The problem is not a lack of water or nutrient deficency. I agree with bllnickie, it's a cool weather plant and its gotten to hot for them.
Reply:How hot is your weather? They tend to die out when weather gets hot. Mine are dead by late June. And that is how they die, they go pale and yellow then finally dry out. I always pull mine up and plant a hot weather veggie in its place.
Reply:Perhaps they aren't getting ehough water. Sometimes too much sun makes the leaves go yellow. Are any of your other flowers and plants looking sick? If they are, a pest.disease could be causing the yellow colouring of the leaves.
Reply:Because of LONDons hose pipe ban!
Reply:I like sweet peas. Buy some more and try watering them.
Reply:need more magnesium

In 1933, Popeye received a foundling baby in the mail, whom he adopted and named "Swee'Pea". And the rest is history!

Your take on pernell whitaker (sweet pea) ?
One of the very best of his era, and one of the greatest defensive counter punchers of all time. I rank Pea right up there with Willie Pep as an all time Great.
Your take on pernell whitaker (sweet pea) ?
he was great fighter. but he was too defensive. if he would have just attacked chavez more he would have gotten the decision. never would have beaten duran leonard or pryor.
Reply:He was a great boxer - Hall Of Famer. He was one of the best defensive fighters ever! he could also bring it on offense.
Reply:He ran against Chavez. He could not stand Chavez's pressure, so he ran and ran, stop, sneaked a punch and ran and ran, stop,threw a punch and ran and ran. Pernell avoided Meldrick's mistake when Mel fought Chavez
Reply:Great defensive fighter, but definitely below Chavez. Many people fail to realize Chavez was way past his prime when he fought Sweet Pea (his 1st defeat against class C journeyman Frankie Randall came a few monthsd after this fight). A prime Chavez would have destroyed Whitaker à la Meldrick Taylor (brain damage, broken ribs, peeing blood for one week...).
Reply:One of the greatest if not THE greatest left handed technician EVER! Any lefties you see in boxing today that are technically sound. I guarantee you, As a kid they at one time or another studied Pernell's fights and took a few things from them. I know I did. Peace!
Reply:One of the all time best in his division. Excellent defensive fighter, took on all comers. He dropped Oscar, and in my opinion got robbed in the decision. I also had chance to meet him at a fight in Las Vegas at Cesar's Palace, down to earth and real cordial.
Reply:Great fighter, didn't have the best chin (which is the case with a lot of good to great defensive fighters). Chavez was out of his league once he left 140 anyway.
Reply:Heavy D is way off. He stood right in front of Chavez like a matador, juked him out of his socks with slick upper body movement and counterpunched him to death. Then he would dance away a few feet, stop and wait for another ineffective Chavez charge. It was a masterful performance and anyone who says otherwise is either a sour grapes Chavez booster or a Whitaker detractor. After the fight Julio's face looked like it had been rattailed with a wet towel for 12 rounds. If you gave Chavez more than 4 rounds you are more charitable than Mother Theresa.
Whitaker was one of the top 10 greatest lightweights of all time and only Duran had a chance of beating him in my opinion.
Reply:My favorite fighter of all time and clearly one of the greatest to ever do it. In terms of skill, I rank him up there with Ray Robinson and Roy Jones Jr. as the most skilled ever, in terms of accomplishments and resume I still have around top 10. Most skilled defensive fighter ever, excellent counter-puncher, evasiveness and slickness on a whole nother level.
People are impressed by Mayweather today, this guy had nothing on Sweet Pea. Sweet Pea threw way more punches and stood in front of you and outboxed you and made you miss, not like Floyd. People who call Whitaker a runner have simply re-hased what others have said without actually watching the man fight. One of the very best to ever do it. IMO the best LW ever, right there with Duran.
Reply:Greatest southpaw of all time.
Reply:A great southpaw defensive fighter. Ask De La Hoya, Chavez, Nelson, and others he encountered. As a lightweight he dominated that division from 1988 when he won his belt to 1992 when he already unified the division before moving up in class. I got to let Heavy D know something did you watch or study the Whitaker vs Chavez fight in 1994? He clearly dominated that fight all rounds. Lou Duva was p'd off that he lost, so was he, and also to point out if you even can catch Ringside Documentary on Pernell Whitaker he pointed out that fans of Chavez even told him he was robbed. Now to hear that from people who did not care for you then like you after the fight come on now........ Also they fought in El Paso TX which is close to Mexico. Think back to 1988 when Sweet Peat fought Ramirez in France he was robbed then and he clearly dominated that fight. I think where he was during some of his biggest fights played a difference in him winning and losing. His record should be 43-2-0 that is my opinion....

Who did Sweet Pea belong to on Popeye?
Sweet Pea was found in a basket by Olive Oil
-edit-
Swee'Pea is a character in E.C. Segar's comic strip Thimble Theatre and in the "Popeye" cartoon series derived from it.
In the comics, Baby Swee'Pea is technically the Crown Prince of Demonia, but when his father died, his evil uncle wanted to eliminate him and gain control of the country. To save her baby, Swee'Pea's mother left him on Popeye's doorstep, knowing the trustworthy sailor would protect him. Popeye adopts and raises him as his son, or, as he puts it, "boy-kid". Initially Swee'Pea's speech consisted entirely of the sound "glop". As the years went on, Swee'Pea apparently aged enough to speak normally; however, his appearance remained that of a crawling baby.
In the animated "Popeye" cartoons produced by Max Fleischer and later by Famous Studios, Swee'Pea was portrayed as being in the care of Olive Oyl and at times Popeye, although it was unclear whether he was her or his own child.

Treat aphids or virus first on sweet peas?
My plants are turning yellow,drying out and dying. I have found what I think are brown aphids, but they also look very much like pictores of sweet pea viruses.
Treat aphids or virus first on sweet peas?
Aphids are usually little whitish waxy looking things that gravitate to roses. You can kill those by spraying a solution of water with a little dish soap mixed in. Take a piece of an affected plant to your local nursery - someone there should be able to direct you.
Reply:buy a big bag of lady bugs at your local nursery!!! They really do work..my parents used to have huge aphid probs and the lady bugs worked really well
Reply:Treat the aphids. There isn't much you can do for the virus, sad to say. I'd purchase some oil at your local garden store (Ortho makes it). Aphids can transmit viruses, (can also be transmitted by thrips or leafhoppers, etc) so if you have peas that are not affected yet, get those aphids!
How old are the pea plants? Do you think they are naturally dying off, maybe it is too hot for them. If they are grying out, that isn't a good thing. They may be stressed if they aren't getting enough water. They may need some TLC.
As far as the virus, are you able to replant your peas or do they carry sentimental or other value? You should try to replant with something else, or a virus-resistant type of pea (it should tell you on the seed packet). Make sure you gather all the debris from the ground, since some viruses can survive in the ground without a host. Viruses can also survive on weeds (alternate hosts), so get rid of those as well.
There are no chemical controls for viral diseases in plants. Do not apply a fungicide because a virus is not a fungus, and it will not work. The best control is to plant disease resistant plants, sterilize garden equipment used to prevent the spread of the virus, control weeds and insects to prevent spread.
Reply:Gosh, I don't know for sure. The aphids are sucking the life out of the plant so I guess I would treat that first. Just a guess. Are you talking about flowers or English peas, the vegetable. Because if it's the flower, you might try Orthonex, which contains both an insecticide and fungus control, but you can't put it on anything edible. Go to www.ortho.com and check it and other chemicals out. Good luck.
Treat aphids or virus first on sweet peas?
Aphids are usually little whitish waxy looking things that gravitate to roses. You can kill those by spraying a solution of water with a little dish soap mixed in. Take a piece of an affected plant to your local nursery - someone there should be able to direct you.
Reply:buy a big bag of lady bugs at your local nursery!!! They really do work..my parents used to have huge aphid probs and the lady bugs worked really well
Reply:Treat the aphids. There isn't much you can do for the virus, sad to say. I'd purchase some oil at your local garden store (Ortho makes it). Aphids can transmit viruses, (can also be transmitted by thrips or leafhoppers, etc) so if you have peas that are not affected yet, get those aphids!
How old are the pea plants? Do you think they are naturally dying off, maybe it is too hot for them. If they are grying out, that isn't a good thing. They may be stressed if they aren't getting enough water. They may need some TLC.
As far as the virus, are you able to replant your peas or do they carry sentimental or other value? You should try to replant with something else, or a virus-resistant type of pea (it should tell you on the seed packet). Make sure you gather all the debris from the ground, since some viruses can survive in the ground without a host. Viruses can also survive on weeds (alternate hosts), so get rid of those as well.

What spices are good in canned sweet peas that my kids will like?
I like mine with butter and maybe a little Ms. Dash. Everything tastes better with cheese. Can you put them in a casserole they are easier to eat when mixed in something.
What spices are good in canned sweet peas that my kids will like?
I've looked around quite a bit. It seems that peas are usually only seasoned with salt and pepper, and occasionally, if searved creamed, with nutmeg. Onions are often cooked with them, and sometimes a bit of celery, too.
I checked all kinds of recipes for hot and cold dishes with peas. I think I'd try seasonings that my children liked in other foods.
Reply:I don't usually like regular peas but I do like the baby peas in the cans of LeSeur peas.

I am going to use the green garden netting you get for my sweet peas....?

Any opinion on using this? Anyone done this before and have some tips??
I am going to use the green garden netting you get for my sweet peas....?
I have used black string netting to run sweet peas and morning glories up on sides of my house. It was very nice because the little tendrils from vines could catch on and cling to netting very easily.
The drawback I found was on windy days when the wind would blow the vines hard enough that they would get sliced right off because of sharpness of netting.
The next year I switched to plastic green netting on sides of house and had no problems and vines ran crazy on it. Just make sure you secure it very tight so it doesn't rip down from strong winds.
Reply:Yes, I've used netting. It works fine.
It can be annoying to de-vine to used next year. But when the vines are spent, if I just rip it all, and then wait until the vines are dry dry dry, it's eaiser to get it all off, and store the netting for next year.

Reply:It doesn't matter. Seed-based plants have been surface-sown since the beginning of plants. Just throw them on the ground, water them, and then put your cat out there to guard them from the birds.
But seriously, you'll first want to take them out of the can. Warm them slightly with a little butter. Then eat them. Poop them out in your garden the next morning. This will also give them a fertilizer boost to start with. Since only the strongest ones will survive you'll be guaranteed to have a good crop.
Good luck!

Sweet peas are one of the easiest flowering annuals to start from seed. Sweet peas are commonly direct seeded in the garden. Give them a site with full to partial sun and deep, rich, loamy, moist but well-drained soil. Add plenty of organic matter (compost, well-rotted manure, leaf mold, or humus) to enrich the soil and make it more friable.
'Pastel Sunset' sweet pea
Sweet peas are most successful when they are started at times with cooler temperatures. Each region has its own unique "season" for growing sweet peas. In western North America, sweet pea seeds should be sown from August forward to maximize winter and spring flowering. Although sweet peas can be killed back by hard freezes, they are reasonably cold hardy and can take frost without much damage to plants. Cooler night temperatures extend the enjoyment of sweet pea flowers in the west into the summer months.
In the drier plains states, sweet peas can be started early indoors for transplanting or sown directly after the harshest weather has passed. Cut flower growers in Colorado have successfully grown sweet peas through high summer temperatures by mulching heavily as plants mature and weather heats up.
In the south, sow seed in November or December for early spring fresh cut flowers. In the mid-west and northeast non-coastal areas, sow seed indoors in February and transplant into the garden when the ground thaws. Alternatively, seed can be sown directly into prepared garden soil in April. Finally, the coastal areas of the northeast are excellent areas to grow sweet peas for spring use.
Sowing Seed
Sweet peas will need about 50 days of cool temperatures (under 60º F) to bloom gloriously in your garden. Sweet pea seed has a hard, water insoluble seed coat. There is no evidence that soaking sweet peas will increase germination. Nicking the outside coating of a sweet pea seed will allow rapid hydration of seeds and does both speed and increase germination. Nicking can be easily accomplished by using a nail clipper to score the sweet pea seed coat. Sweet pea seed will germinate in soil at temperatures of 55º to 65º F or 13º to 18º C.
Plant seeds in holes that are about two inches (two knuckles) deep. Drop two to four seeds per hole, with holes spaced four to six inches apart. Water thoroughly and keep soil moist until seeds have sprouted. Expect germination in about 10 to 21 days. Once the seedlings are growing, water regularly to promote strong, healthy growth. When the seedlings are three to four inches high, thin them out, leaving the most vigorous-looking plants four to six inches apart. Sowing seeds each week over several weeks will further extend the time you get to enjoy your sweet peas. Grow them in peat pots or four-inch plastic pots filled with a soil free seed-starting mix. Sow two or three seeds per pot - pushing each an inch down into the potting mix. Cover with mix, water, and put the pots in a cool, dark place. After about 10 days, keep an eye out for new shoots emerging above the soil. At that point, bring the plants out into the light. Keep them in a cool place (below 55°F.); if they are coddled in a warm room, they won’t be tough enough to transplant outdoors without a lengthy hardening off period. When the seedlings have two sets of real leaves, thin to one plant per pot. Transplant into the garden about a month before the last frost date, as soon as the soil is workable - the shoots are tough and won’t be bothered by light frost. Allow 6 inches between climbing varieties, 12 inches between dwarf bushy types.
When planting tall, long vine sweet peas, it’s best to place the stake or support in the ground at the same time as the seed or transplants to avoid damaging the roots. Trellises are the most common supports, yet there are other climbing options. Bird netting strung between two stakes, string, twine, or fishing line hung from the top of a split rail fence, a bamboo teepee, brush stakes - all are good verticals for sweet peas to climb. Unless the support is up against a wall, sow seeds on all sides, producing an eye-catching array of blooms that can be seen from all directions. Once the plants have been thinned, mulch them well; a four- to six-inch layer of organic mulch will keep the roots cool and extend the growing season.
Garden Care
Do not over fertilize or you’ll wind up with very deep green leaves but few flowers. A balanced 20-20-20 slow release fertilizer blended into the soil at planting time works fine for the initial plant development. Alternatively, organic fertilizers are also excellent for sweet peas. Additional mulching with composted manure will help retain soil moisture and provide nutrients for strong plant growth and flowering.
If blooms are not cut regularly, deadhead the plant as soon as flowers fade. Allowing the plant to produce seedpods will reduce overall flower production. Removing spent blooms will ensure more blooms.
Possible Problems
The first challenge for sweet peas, like other direct-sown seeds, is to avoid being plucked out of the ground by voracious birds, mice, squirrels, and other critters. As seedlings, sweet peas are vulnerable to birds, slugs, and snails, especially if fall-planted in a warm climate. Preventative measures often deter a problem before it has a chance to get started. Follow these guidelines for healthier plants. Plant sweet peas in an area that gets good air circulation. Water early in the day so the leaves are dry by nightfall; wet leaves are a magnet for fungus. Think of sweet peas like food crops. Rotate planting areas so that the sweet peas are grown in the same space once every four years. Don’t grow sweet peas where other legumes are growing or grew last year. Legumes include garden peas, beans of all types, peanuts, and clover.
How to Grow From Purchased Plants
You may find sweet peas sold as plants particularly at some specialty nurseries or garden centers. There may be ready-made container plantings of sweet peas - an instant garden. Sweet peas need tender care when transplanted, so look for plants in individual earth friendly pots or peat pots. The larger the pot, the better. Right before planting, snip off any flowers or flower buds. This is the time to get the roots well established so they can support the growing plant’s needs. Even though you sacrifice early blooms, you’ll be rewarded with bigger plants with an abundance of larger flowers.
Plant into prepared garden soil or a container. With transplants, it’s even more important to plant the support before digging the plant in to keep the precious roots out of harm’s way. Try to keep the root ball together. Plant it at the same depth as it was originally growing. Lightly firm the soil around it and water. Wait a week to ten days before mulching. Be sure to keep the mulch at least an inch away from the stem of the plant until plants are well established. Otherwise you could smother the stem or be likely to encourage insects, pests, and diseases.
Container Culture
The introduction of 'Cupid' - the first dwarf sweet pea - at the turn of the 19th century brought sweet peas into the realm of containers. Their diminutive size suits hanging baskets, window boxes, pots, urns, and all other sorts of containers. There are many dwarf sweet pea types available from mail order catalogs or in seed packets purchased at stores. Climbing sweet peas also make great container plants. Instead of sowing one or two seeds at the center of the container, make a circle of seeds - spaced a couple of inches apart - an inch in from the rim of the pot. In the limited space of a container, it’s easiest to plant the support and then sow the seeds around it. For larger containers, tomato cages are perfect supports; the legs can be pushed into the potting mix. Since sweet pea shoots aren’t bothered by frost, you can set a container of sweet peas out in the garden in early spring (at the same time you’d plant seeds outside.)
Bring the Outdoors In - Container Plants
When the first flowers appear, start cutting flowering stems for indoor bouquets. In addition to adding the sweet perfume in the house, you’re encouraging the plant to produce more flowers. Cut stems every other day, early in the morning when they are the freshest. For climbing varieties, thinning lateral shoots that start at the base of leaves will reduce vegetative growth, increase flower production, and encourage better air circulation around the plant.
The stems will look full when you first arrange them and the remaining buds will open as the first blooms fade. Be sure to remove any leaves that are below water level in the vase. A bouquet of sweet peas can easily last a week indoors if you cut off 1/4 to 1/2 inch at the base of each stem and change the water daily.

A bouquet of sweet peas can easily last a week indoors if you cut off 1/4 to 1/2 inch at the base of each stem and change the water daily.

Reply:I soak them over night. Roll themin some nitrogen fixer and plant. Some times I can not find the fixer so I just throw them in the garden. I have a pea fense. I some times use the square tomatoe cages for them to grow onbecause I can not store them. By the time the peas are gone it is time to plant tomatoes
Reply:Not too deep, but not right on top of the soil. Hmmmm... I'd say about 1-1/12 inches should do it.

I'm having sweet peas, sweet corn and jasmine rice as my vegetarian meal. I added butter is that cheating
If you're a "vegetarian", butter is OK. Vegans won't eat it because it's a dairy product.

just make the meat look good and forget the animal it is in a better place! Doesn't that make you feel better than the animals suffering in real life, INFACT I think they want to be killed and eaten! :D Report It
Reply:Wow... maybe you should figure out what kind of vegetarian you are! As far as I know, vegetarian eat butter. You might want to put some meat substitutes in there (tofu is good cooked) for protein. I'm a vegetarian and I eat butter. It's vegans that don't eat butter. Another thing... if you are "cheating" you should rethink being vegetarian. Vegetarianism is not like a diet: you can't cheat. You're either care about animals and are in this for life or you're not. Think about it before you call yourself vegetarian.
Reply:People post on here all the time asking if what they do is wrong or if they've violated the "rules" of vegetarianism. There are no rules. There are as many different type of vegetarians as there are just about anything else in this world.
If you're going for the vegan lifestyle, then don't eat butter. If you are going for a lacto-vegetarian or lacto-ovo-vegetarian lifestyle, then eat butter if you like it.
Now, personally, I don't like to consume products that come from milk, just because of the suffering dairy cows endure and supporting that industry is just not something I want to do.
Reply:If you are vegetarian you can eat butter, cream, cheese and eggs vegans actually eat no no no animal derived products including honey. Edit to fluffy cat the vegan diet is actually the most healthiest diet however you should be etaing low fat, low carbs and lots of vegetables if you only lived on chips and chocolate its not good for you. However a bowl of lentil soup with crusty italian bread, a summer salad, a chinese soup with tofu and rice noodle and 8 leafy green vegetabes and fruit (not all at once ) is very healthy. Toast with vegan spread and vegemite, orange juice, fruit, salad sandwich, more fruit, carrot sticks, steamed brown rice with vegetables and an apple with 8 or more glasses of water and jasmin tea is good for you however if you over eat and eat potatoes and bread and rubbish and drink fizzy drinks you will get fat and have rotten teeth!!!! Go to egan wolf.com they have useful information. the trick to a vegan diet is read, read and read and research on the internet!!
Reply:Better yet this is what you should do
Trust me make some chicken wings, hamburgers with french fries and everything will seem fine the only thing you have to worry about is SCHOOL, not the animals, maybe dogs and cats but not the food, just make the meat look good and forget the animal it is in a better place! Doesn't that make you feel better than the animals suffering in real life, infact I think they want to be killed and eaten! :D
Reply:No, that is NOT CHEATING. A lacto-ovo vegetarian diet is way more healthy than a vegan diet.
You would be better off using brown rice as brown rice has more essential nutrients and needed fiber.

Average inches a sweet pea plant grows per week?
The growth of sweet pea plants would depend on a number of things: sunlight, water availability, nutrients, pH of soil, nutrient content of soil, etc. Additionally different types or varieties of sweet pea plant have different growing rates.
the only way to ascertain for sure is to do a simple test yourself.

How to grow Sweet peas?
Should i sow in the ground or in pots
How to grow Sweet peas?
It is a little late for Sweet Peas (but then again I am a Canadian) they are very much like Morning Gloies, they are a trailing flower so you will want to but them near a trellis, or some other climbing source.
I put morning glories in a big outdoor urn this year with those ugly little wire garden "fences" that no one uses anymore, one in front and one behind, then once they got started i put a narrow but tall trellis in the urn/tub.
Sweet peas are very much the same, if you do not give them anything to climb up... they will grow in a mass and might not flower.
*** Best of luck ***
Secondary thought...... also they will start quicker if you put the seads in a damp papertowel/ shallow bowl with a weeeee bit of water for a day or two before planting into whatever you decide. They will actually grow roots then when they go outside they will thrive moe quickly =)
Reply:you plant them in the soil where you want them to grow but make sure they have warmth
Reply:Read the seed packet.
Reply:It depends on your climate and on the type of sweet peas. There are some (such as Knee High) that bloom on plants that only grow about a foot tall. Those can be grown to maturity in pots. The more traditional vining type do best in the ground, although I have had success growing them in large pots with trellises. Even if you are going to ultimately plant them in the ground, you can start the seeds in pots and transplant the seedlings if you want, although they are generally pretty easy to grow just planted in the ground.
The seeds will germinate faster if you soak them in water for an hour or so before you plant them.
If you live in a mild climate, you can plant sweet peas in late summer and fall for bloom next spring. I live north of San Francisco, where we get frost but rarely hard freezes, and I almost always have success starting the seeds in the fall. If you live where it gets very cold, though, you'd be better off to wait until spring. Sweet peas will take a bit of frost, but a hard freeze will do them in.
Reply:Ask Popeye and Olive Oyl.... sorry please accept my apologies but I couldn't resist.
Reply:You can sow in the Autumn to get them off to a good start and flower early next year, they're not very hardy but will manage against a south facing wall.
I'd soak the seeds for 48 hours before planting, they are slow to germinate and that helps them along a bit.
Reply:i would put them in pots in the greenhouse
Reply:1. Choose a site in full sun with rich, well-drained soil.
2. Soak sweet pea seeds in warm water for 2 to 6 hours before planting.
3. Plant seeds in early spring, as soon as the soil has thawed thoroughly. Soil temperatures and moisture levels vary widely at this time of year - if you don't see any seedlings after a week or so, replant.
4. Once seeds have germinated, thin plants so that they stand 6 to 12 inches apart.
5. Provide support for your sweet peas to climb (unless they're the dwarf, bushy types that need no support) - they can grow up to 8 feet tall. Good support candidates include netting, trellises, arbors, fences and string supports.
6. Keep soil evenly moist. Mulching is a good idea.
7. Trim or pinch faded flowers to promote longer blooming.
8. Fertilize every two to four weeks, or work in a slow-release fertilizer at planting time. Sweet peas are heavy feeders.
9. Tear out and discard plants after heat arrives and they begin to look ratty.
Tips:
Blooming in pinks, blues, lavenders and creams, sweet peas thrive in cool weather and die out when temperatures regularly top 80 degrees F.
Look for varieties that say they're heat-tolerant - they'll bloom longer before summer's heat hits.
Warnings:
Not all sweet peas are fragrant; choose varieties that specify fragrance.

I live in zone 6 USA and I'd like to know when you have had success planting sweet peas?
I have heard of planting on St. Patrick's Day but the ground is still frozen....I've grown other vegetables successfully but have never grown peas and this year I would like to try them. Any advice?
I live in zone 6 USA and I'd like to know when you have had success planting sweet peas?
I live in Northern Michigan. Peas go into the ground as soon as you can dig a hole. Right now we havent thawed yet. Peas only need the ground to be 40 degrees in orde to germinate. If you wait until later in the year, like June, the peas succumb to sun. They cannot tolerate hot days. They will bolt. So as soon as your ground is 40 degrees, go to it. Soak your peas in a pot of water overnight so that the seedling can break through the pod. If any seeds are floating on the top, they are not viable. Good seed should sink. The peas need this soak so that the seedling can crack through the tough outer shell. As soon as I can move some snow, I will be out planting.
Reply:I'm in zone 5 (Wisconsin) and I've planted sugar snap peas as early as March, but if the ground is still frozen you'll have to wait a couple of weeks yet. I've got the itch to get out there too but yesterday we got slammed with 14" of snow!! Also, if you plant this soon be aware that it may be a wasted effort if we get a late frost....
Any-hoo, with sugar snaps I plant a few rows every 2 weeks throughout Spring and Summer, not in full sun and we have the yummy little guys all season long!
Good luck and Happy Easter!

Next year, can I sow my morning glories, sweet peas, and other flowers indoors n March first?
I planted my sweet peas in june, but they are only a foot high. I think I planted them late. I have a lot of morning glories, and in some places they are 8 feet high, and in some only 2 feet. There are some other flowers i'd like to start indoors too so they will grow, and bloom faster, like sweet wiliam, and other summer flowering annuals. Can I do sow my morning glories, sweet peas, and the other flowers indoors in march, will they bloom faster grow faster ect? I live in ontario zone 5.
Next year, can I sow my morning glories, sweet peas, and other flowers indoors n March first?
Yes you can. I started seeds indoors in February for petunias and marigolds and morning glories and tomatoes and other things. It was a little too early. The morning glories got out of control! I had the plants under florescent lights. You put the lights just inches above the plants and they grow just great. I think March would be a good time to start them in your zone but be prepared to have them get pretty viney before it is time to plant them. Mine are growing all over the side of the house now and I had tomatoes before the end of June. I am in zone 5/6. The lights are important to keep the plants from getting too leggy. And you don't need grow-lights, any cheap florescent light works.
Reply:Yes, you can. I would start them earlier than March. Make sure you keep the seedlings moist.
Reply:Absolutely.
Most hardware stores or home centers can sell you a small kit with everything you need to start seeds indoors. All you need to supply are the seeds, water and a good warm, sunny window.

Project Runway: Sweet Pea Returns?
I was looking at the site, and even though we have, after last night (the reunion episode, which I DVR'd and havesn't seen yet), still another couple episodes before the winner is chosen.
Anyway, last I knew Sweet Pea was eliminated, then I look online as see that she has a collection and shows at Bryant Park. WTH? I mean, why not just tell me who won too? And how did Sweet Pea get back on? I agree that she deserves it, but what is the point of the competition if they don't even follow their own rules? Its supposed to be 2 people that make it to Bryant. Last year they couldn't choose and made it 3. This year, they still couldn't choose, made it 3, changed their mind, and upped it to 4? Its getting sort of pointless I think.
Anyone else have on opinion here?

Anyone can show at Bryant Park, you don't have to be a finalist on PR to show there. There were non PR finalists last year who also had a collection at Bryant Park.

Sweet Pea?
I am trying to design a tattoo of a sweet pea for myself, but I'm not sure exactly what they look like. I mean, I KNOW what they look like, but I can never find a clear picture of the leaves and how the petals are exactly shaped. Are there any sites that show the petals up close and leaves, like an informative site on it, not just how to grow it.
What do these mean?
" The leaves are pinnate with two leaflets and a terminal tendril, this twining round supporting plants to help it climb."
What does Pinnate/leaflets, and terminal tendril look like?
Sweet Pea?
these photos may be helpful for the tattoo :)

Do you think I could still sow sweet peas for flowering this year?
I know that it is better to sow early autumn for spring flowering however, I missed out and I do not like the bought plants
Should I just got for it?
Do you think I could still sow sweet peas for flowering this year?
Sweet peas like cool conditions, depending on your locale it may be a little late. I would go for it unless they are seeds of a strain you particullarily value, in which case refrigerate till fall.
Reply:Sometimes people can get a second harvest of peas in the fall, much like you can do with lettuce.
That said, I would try a few now - they may or may not flower. I would save some for later in the season and see how that goes. Otherwise, you are stuck with bought plants.
I hope you have better luck next year!
Reply:i think you can grow them on your window sill or in a green house
Reply:Try planting them in straight manure.

Are sweet peas poisonious to dogs?
i was wondering if they were because i would like to start planting them along my fence but if it is poisonous to dogs and children then I'm obviously going to choose a different climber this year. any suggestions for climbers in zone 5a?
Are sweet peas poisonious to dogs?
i don't think they are. actually if you break one of the stems and see a milk colour liquid comming out of it then refrain as it may be poisonous to both human and animals.

What is the best way to plant sweet peas from seed?
I have an old gardening book with about three pages of somewhat conflicting advice. The universal element appears to be well aged manure and secondarily, lots of well rotted leaves.
I have never had success with annual sweet peas (although I do have the perennial) in all my years of gardening and I have river bottom soil in my garden. This year, I added lots of chicken manure and decaying leaves to various areas of the garden and planted sweet peas. I soaked some of the seeds, did not soak others - I will see what happens. The seeds should be sprouting shortly. Mid April is about as late as the seeds can be planted here in Ohio, Zone 5b. A lot of the directions say to plant as soon as the soil can be worked. Once the weather heats up, there is no chance at all.

soak them in a saucer of water and kitchen paper for a week or more until they sprout.then plant out in pots or outside if weather is suitable.

Sweet Peas when do I take off the pods please?
Hi My sweet peas have finished flowering unfortunatley and am left with just the pods which have seeds in them I presume can anyone help with what I do with this pods and when. Many thanks
Sweet Peas when do I take off the pods please?
If the pods are still green you may still be in time to encourage more flowers by cutting them all off now and watering the plants well. It you want to save the seeds however wait till the pods start to lose their colour and then pick them and put them in a paper not plastic bag to finish ripening/drying out.If the peas are not the "vegatable" type do not eat them.
Reply:I'm going to take it you mean the type of flowers that are known as sweet peas and not the vegetable. If you're wanting to collect seed pods in order to use the seeds next year, you need to wait until they're dry. Try to do it before the first frost, because that will often cause the pods to open and the seeds fall out. Otherwise, just let them become quite dry before you pick them.
Reply:sweet peas and beans are really fun to grow, becasue they grow so quickly and the flowers are pretty.
You can take the pods off and eat them just as they are at any time when they seem ready. Some people like them to be really tiny and eat them whole when they are tender and young.
Some like to let the peas inside grow and then take those out of the pod and eat those by themselves.
Fresh vegetables are the best.. steam them, a tiny bit of salt, and there you go.. enjoy!
Reply:Since the sweet peas are done blooming, you can leave those pods on the vine until just before the first frost. Then pick the pods, take the seeds out and store them. They are free seeds for next years planting. Or, let mother nature take care of it. The pods will dry, hang on the vine and hopefully pop open to allow the seeds to drop and start new plants. I have found this to be the easiest, but do often times need to help the seeds out of the pod mid winter by rubbing them open. Happy planting. And aren't those sweet peas just the most fragrant for such a small flower. Love em.,
Reply:Because you have left the pods on this is why you have no flowers, once a plant thinks it has enough seeds it will stop producing flowers, when growing in future take seed pods as soon as they begin if you want the seed for the following year leave to ripen you will be able to feel the pea's inside the pod,
for all plants as the flowers die of you should remove them except when growing on for seed's.

Question about sweet pea seeds...???
Should I pick the pods now while they are still green and then lay out the seeds to dry...?
or
Is it best to wait until the pods are dry and then pick them from the vines...?
or
Are both ways okay?
Question about sweet pea seeds...???
No. If you are going to save seeds from your vines, it is best to wait until they are dry and papery and then put them in a paper bag and hang them with a clothespin in a warm and dry place. When they burst open in the bag, you can collect them and put them in a cool and dry place until ready to plant.

How do you stop the water smelling like a compost heap when your'e using the vase for sweet peas?
Should the water be changed everyday?
How do you stop the water smelling like a compost heap when your'e using the vase for sweet peas?
Try putting in a little bleach and re-cut the ends on an angle. This should also extend the life of the cuttings.
Reply:Wash the vase out with hot sudsy water, then add fresh tap water. You may need to do this on a daily basis to keep the smell down.
Reply:In warm weather, not that we have had an awful lot of that lately, if you have time, change water daily. If you are a tad forgetful, like me, try putting a small drop of bleach in the water to start with. Works for me.
Reply:I do not like bleach in the water and I do not think the flowers do either. A squeeze of lemon juice, fresh or concentrated real lemon juice, but I often use vinegar. Two teaspoons to the liter. Change water every other day.
Off the subject:
As far as bleach goes it is used in warm climates to "purify" vegetables grown in the EARTH, i.e. carrots, lettuce, radishes, cabbage and other vegetables, esp. if eaten raw.
I scrub first and leave in bleach and water for 20 minutes and then drain/allow to dry, (even for cantaloupe and papaya). Ratio is 2 teaspoons per liter. This prevents abrorption of paracytes and amebes.
Reply:every other day.
Reply:usr flat lemonade it makes the flowers last longer and does not smell or stain the vase.
Reply:You should really change the water everyday if possible, but a drop of bleach in the water will stop it smelling nasty and extend the life of your flowers. I also every other day cut a tiny bit off the stems and add some lemonade to the water as it feeds the flowers and makes them last even longer.

When to plant sweet peas?
as long as the soil is not too moist. Test it by taking a handful and squeezing it. If it stays together as a lump you are good to go. Sweet peas like to germinate in cool soil.
Right now where I am I am planning on sowing them on Friday.
I would ( and will) soak them in a glass of water for 24 hours before hand. This just gives them a helping hand in braking the outside protective coating.
Have fun.
Reply:You didn't say where you live, but in general after danger of frost has past for spring planting, and you can also plant in fall when the heat of summer has started to fade and you expect slightly cooler days. heat will shorten the life of the plants and they should bloom until first fairly hard frost. to speed up germination soak the seeds in water over night and plant about 1 " deep-Mitch
Reply:I would plant them now. A little trick of the trade is to soak your seeds over night in lukewarm water. More on the cooler side than warm. This helps them germinate faster. Then follow the package directions and make sure you remember that they need quite a bit of sun. I love sweet peas!
Reply:In Southern Australia we generally start planting sweet peas on St Patricks day (17 March). This is one of those old rules of gardening.
Using this rule of thumb anytime in early/mid Autumn would be appropriate. Things are cooling down after summer and the summer annuals are past their best. Time to replace them.
Reply:The only area where it is to cold now is the northern tear of states like: North Dakota, Main, Wisconsin, Alaska, Montana.
They can take some cold.
Reply:As soon as soil temperature's reached 50 degrees.

Can sweet peas, strawberries, raspberries and cucumbers all be planted together in one flowerbed?
No, I would plant all but the cucumbers together. You will have cucumbers climbing up your plants. They have very long vines and need room to spread out. They may smother your other plants.
Can sweet peas, strawberries, raspberries and cucumbers all be planted together in one flowerbed?
Depends on how big the bed is. You will definitely have to watch the cucumbers and their vines, they do not have deep roots, but if you do not have them climbing they may strangle your other plants.
Word of caution: the strawberries will spread like you cannot imagine! By next year they can quadruple!
Reply:i have no idea but you could try............
Reply:Just remember the strawberries and the raspberries are perrinials, and both will spread out quite a bit. If I were you I would give these plenty of room.
Reply:Yes, but watch out for the cucumbers, they really spread.

Garlic, Butter, and a pinch of sugar...
How can I spice up some sweet peas?
INGREDIENTS
15 ounces peas
1/4 cup chopped red onion
2 tablespoons dill pickle relish, drained
1 hard-cooked egg, chopped
1 large jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup shredded pepperjack cheese
salt to taste
DIRECTIONS
In a medium bowl, combine peas, onion, relish, egg and jalapeno. Stir in mayonnaise and cheese. Chill for at least two hours before serving.
INGREDIENTS
1 (3 pound) boneless corned beef brisket
1 1/2 cups peas
1 large head cabbage, quartered
1 medium turnip, peeled and cubed
6 carrots, peeled and cut in chunks
6 large potatoes, peeled and quartered
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Dumplings:
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons white sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 cup water
DIRECTIONS
Cover the corned beef with cold water and soak overnight in the refrigerator.
Drain the beef and place in a large Dutch oven. Cover with fresh water. Place the yellow peas in a triple layer of cheesecloth and tie securely. Place the bag inside the Dutch oven with the beef. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 2 hours.
After 2 hours, add the chopped cabbage, turnip, and carrots to the pot. Simmer for 25 minutes.
Add the chopped potatoes and simmer an additional 20 to 25 minutes, or until all of the vegetables are fork tender.
While the vegetables are cooking, prepare the dumpling dough as follows: Combine the flour, sugar, and baking powder in a bowl, then add the water a little bit at a time to make a pasty dough. You may not need to add all of the water. Divide the dough into 6 balls. Be careful not to over-handle the dough.
During the last 5 to 10 minutes of simmering the vegetables, place the dough balls on top of the vegetables and cover with a lid. Allow the dumplings to steam in the pot for 7 minutes.
When the dumplings are cooked through, remove all ingredients from the pot and arrange on a warm serving platter. Remove the cooked peas from the cheesecloth bag and mash with the butter and black pepper. Serve alongside the beef and vegetables.
INGREDIENTS
10 ounces peas
1 (15 ounce) can sliced beets, drained and diced
2 tablespoons chopped onion (optional)
1/2 cup creamy salad dressing, e.g. Miracle Whip ™
DIRECTIONS
In a medium bowl, mix together the peas, beets, onion and salad dressing. Refrigerate until cold, about 30 minutes, before serving.
Reply:my mother used to serve "creamed" peas. I knowi t had flower and milk in it and a little cornstarch, and maybe a tad of sugar. It was great...
on holidays mom would add the Christmas nut roll that had raisins and poppyseed in it with sugar, but in broken off pieces of the roll into a can of sweet peas. It tasted scrumptuous.
Reply:Sautee up some pancetta in a non stick pan. Let it get crispy. Once this is done add the peas and sautee with a little salt and pepper. YUM!
Reply:Occasionally I crush some rosemary and add it to the peas while they are cooking - just to give it a little something different.
Also, occasionally I cook the peas and corn and crushed rosemary together.
I like either of these when I am serving chicken of some kind.

Can you grow Sweet Peas or Nicotiana as house plants?
I am without a garden right now, but I would love to grow some favourites indoors anyway.
Thank you.
Can you grow Sweet Peas or Nicotiana as house plants?
Sweetpeas need deep soil with plenty of well roted manure to flourish so the answer to that is no. Nicotiana on the other hand should do well indoors as long as you give them a feed once a fortnight and make sure they get plenty of water.
Reply:I should'nt think so.
Reply:You could try the sweet peas near the window and let them have as much light as possible and go for the smaller variety as you do not want 6ft flowers indoors, and the nicotiana should be no problem. Any chance of a window box until you have a garden.
Reply:What you need to do is to plant these in a trough instead of pots, that way the plants have more room to put their roots into.
Because these garden plants need light all around you need to imitate the light outside, you need a big cardboard box and have it so that you have 3 sides and the top is open, cover two opposite sides and the back with kitchen foil, stand the trough up so that it is on the side that has no foil on it, the three sides that have the foil on them should be facing the window so that when the natural light hits the kitchen foil the plants have an all round natural light supply

Thank you.
Can you grow Sweet Peas or Nicotiana as house plants?
Sweetpeas need deep soil with plenty of well roted manure to flourish so the answer to that is no. Nicotiana on the other hand should do well indoors as long as you give them a feed once a fortnight and make sure they get plenty of water.
Reply:I should'nt think so.

Who is the little girl Tommy Roe sings to in the music video "Sweet Pea"?
In 1966 there was a song called "Sweet Pea" by Tommy Roe. There is an old black and white video with him singing it and he has a bunch of kids around him. I believe the show was a children's program but I am not sure. Does anybody know who the little girl was that Tommy Roe was singing to? She looks very familiar, maybe an actress now. The video itself is on the "YouTube" website under the name "Sweet Pea". Alot of people have wondered(including myself)if the little girl is his daughter or not. Thank you for any help here from Yahoo members!
Who is the little girl Tommy Roe sings to in the music video "Sweet Pea"?
just from observation by watching on youtube, I would say it is his daughter that he's singing to. especially since she seems so familiar with him and knows all the lyrics too.

Can sweet peas seeds be sown directly ouside and if so from what month?
Im in the UK and they will be sown into troughs/planters....
Can sweet peas seeds be sown directly ouside and if so from what month?
If you are planting outside, no need to wait until danger of last frost. Peas are extremely hardy. Sweet peas, vegetable and/or flower, only need for the soil to be 40 degrees. People here in MI, go out and move the snow and put the seeds into the ground. Sweet peas need to be striated which is to file the outside coat or nick. Soaking is much easer. Soak the peas in bowl overnight. Those that float to the top are no good. They should sink to the bottom. I would give them at least 24 hours. The seed coat is so hard that without help, the little seedlings find it hard to break the coat. A good 24 hour soak should take care of that. Make sure that when you plant, you give them something to climb on. Putting in the trellis or pole at planting is better as if you wait until they have grown up, you are in danger of severing the roots. So put in the stakes, sticks, whatever as soon as you plant.
Reply:Yes. If you don't get much in the way of winter - anytime. They like cool weather, and can take light frosts.
Reply:In SW Missouri in the US I plant them in February, around Valentine's day. Whenever I can get my trowel into the ground.
Reply:Sweet Peas do great from seed. ALthough you may want to either knick the seed coat OR soak overnight first. They take a few days to poke though the soil in a greenhouse kit so I imagine they will take a bit longer outside. You can plant them as soon as the danger of freezes is over i think.

Seeds from sweet peas fell off when plant flowers died in the fall, will these seeds take root, this year?
My dead sweetpea stems are still on my treliss. It is spring now, is it too late to cut them back? I was told they were annuals, but they were up when we moved in 2 years ago, and came up again last year. The seeds from the pods, fell onto the ground when flowers died. Will those seeds take roots and grow this year ?

If you have had a mild winter you may get some self setters. The best thing to do is harvest the seed in fall, keep them frost free and dry throught the winter, then plant them in 3'' pots in spring. You can then plant them where you like without transplanting.
Reply:yep --they probably will--are you talking bout edible sweet peas --English peas to some people--or the vine called sweet peas that is inedible--if its the former--they maybe immature seeds and will not come up-- if they are the flowering kind they will do what nature meant for them to do and replenish their self
Reply:quite likely. Nasturtiums do this as well. Planted some 5 yrs ago,they seed themselves every year and give me free plants. The autumn frosts kill off the plants but I find the seeds germinate all through the winter

How do sweet peas know which way to grow to grab a fence or post? I have seen them lean over to grab a post.?
And some people will tell you there is no God. I think one of the most amazing wonders in nature is how plants know things. Like, how do they know to grow their leaves and branches out to a point so sharp that it can pierce your skin with only minor pressure. How do they know what causes us pain? It blows the mind.
How do sweet peas know which way to grow to grab a fence or post? I have seen them lean over to grab a post.?
They don't "know". They just do. Like ivy, or clamatis, or any other climbing plant. Some do and some don't. Cucumbers will climb a trellis if one is close enough, if not they just run along the ground till they "touch" something. I bet it has to do with the natural instinct to put as many leaves as possible as high as possible to get as much sun as possible. That sounds possible! :)
Reply:Although they seem to "reach out and grab" something that they can't possibly SEE...it's not sight that gets them there.
If you were to film the plant 24 hours a day, and then speed it up to look at it, you'll find that it moves around quite a bit while growing. If the tendril actually hits somthing, it will impede the movement long enough so that the quick growing tendrils' sprialing affect will catch the object.

No sign of my Sweet Pea, (Quaker Parrot) been 3 days now. What you thinik?
I am so sorry. I understand how your feeling. I kept looking for ours for weeks. Don't give up hope though. There have been stories where parrots have turned up, after being gone for a long time. I really do hope you find her...

Reply:If you have done all the things to find SP, do them again. Talk to every neighbor within 6 blocks around you, post flyers, get on the radio lost/found pets, call every vet, the humane society and keep looking. She will be very hungry now and searching for food.
I pray SP is found. It is deadly out there for parrots.

I planted sweet peas in my Santa Cruz, CA garden in March and I've only seen one sprout! Why?
This is more or less the same time I've planted for several years with huge success.I have used essentially the same brand of seeds. We have had an inordinate amount of rain this year.
I planted sweet peas in my Santa Cruz, CA garden in March and I've only seen one sprout! Why?
As I recall, you guys had a really wet spring? It could be that with the combination of wet and cold weather, the seeds have rotted in the ground. If you replant now you should be okay.
Reply:because the seeds maybe old and not plantable. Or maybe its the soil.

Any tips for prizewinning sweet peas?
I want to win the cup this year. I grow 'em cordon method and cut off side shoots et cetera but so does everyone else. I need an edge!
Any tips for prizewinning sweet peas?
For a start sow the seeds in the Autumn, pinch the tip out after three leaves and overwinter in cold frame or frostfree greenhouse and then plant out in Spring. As rightly said deeply dug and well manured. good luck.
Reply:Grow them indoors, i.e. in a greenhouse, but make sure the glass is slightly shaded otherwise they'll get scorched and burned. Keep the air slightly moist by misting once or twice a day. Use good quality plant food (not manure! it's too strong), good quality compost and just the right amount of watering. Also, choose a good strong breed in the first place. Keep air movement and drafts to an absolute minimum, any movement of the leaves and especially the flowers, will cause them to grow slightly smaller than they otherwise would. Sssshhhhhhhh!
Reply:Lots of manure works wonders. I know this sounds obvious but it makes such a huge difference to the blooms.
Reply:Rub seeds with sandpaper %26amp; plant seeds individually in compost inside the cardboard tube from a toilet roll. (Tube is half-filled with the compost. This encourages both roots %26amp; shoots to grow straight).
Start in greenhouse or on windowsill; plant outside after frosts.

What type of pest or insect eats pea plants?
I've had 2 new vegetable sweet pea plants disappear from my garden. (They were not stolen and 6" tall.) Something must've eaten them because there is is no visible trace of the stem or plant itself. It is 100% gone. What could be eating pea plants so hungrily?
What type of pest or insect eats pea plants?
Mice and aphids are number one enemies of the young plants and seeds; so are slugs and snails! Wrong time of year for aphids... I bet it was some snails!
Reply:Bunnies are another possibility, or squirrels, chipmunks, etc. Nice new green things may be irresistible to something in your near area.
Reply:Rabbits or ground hogs. Ground hogs love peas and beans and will eat them to the ground. So will deer. Good luck, I have had to give up my vegetable garden completely because of the critters, and I can't do anything about it because I live next to a woods except a tall and deep fence.
You can get a game camera, it works on an infrared light and will take pictures of whatever is eating your garden, at at least the mystery will be solved.
Reply:Rabbits love fresh pea and bean sprouts. By the way, baked rabbit with dumplings is delicious.

Am growing sweet peas inside to give a head start. Soil is mildewy. Help?
I removed the plastic top cover %26amp; turned on a sun lamp. However, many of the seeds haven't germinated yet. What should I do?
Am growing sweet peas inside to give a head start. Soil is mildewy. Help?
From my experience, sweet peas do not transplant well. The mildew grew before you removed the top cover so that means they weren't getting enough air circulation. I would wait until it is mild enough to plant outdoors.

Reply:I like to use NO DAMP. It's a liquid I mix with the water %26amp; it sterilizes the soil so tender new plants don't rot off at the surface of the soil. Good Luck with your sweet peas.

Reply:i agree with Raul. but i would wait a while longer before throwing the seeds away, sometimes it take a long time for them to germinate.
Reply:Start over. Use new dirt, and not so much water.

Project Runway: Sweet Pea Returns?
I was looking at the site, and even though we have, after last night (the reunion episode, which I DVR'd and havesn't seen yet), still another couple episodes before the winner is chosen.
Anyway, last I knew Sweet Pea was eliminated, then I look online as see that she has a collection and shows at Bryant Park. WTH? I mean, why not just tell me who won too? And how did Sweet Pea get back on? I agree that she deserves it, but what is the point of the competition if they don't even follow their own rules? Its supposed to be 2 people that make it to Bryant. Last year they couldn't choose and made it 3. This year, they still couldn't choose, made it 3, changed their mind, and upped it to 4? Its getting sort of pointless I think.
Anyone else have on opinion here?
Project Runway: Sweet Pea Returns?
The final five were all allowed to put on shows at Bryant Park, but only three will have their shows on TV. They do this so no one can spoil who the final three are, prior to the shows airing (Fashion Week had already happened, at that point). I believe they have done this every season. And, every season iit is supposed to be 3 finalists. There were four last year - Uli, Michael, Jeffrey and Laura. This year, they seemed to have to same dilemma - they couldn't, in good conscience, dump either Chris or Rami, since they are both very talented designers with very different aesthetics. This extra final challenge for the two of them is new.
Reply:E! channel let it go last week, the winner is designing a dress for the Oscars and E! named the winner. The winner has been revealed! I am so upset about how this season unfolded, my only question is how, and why is Sweet pea back? Sympathy? I don't want to spoil it for you so I won't, but I'm sure you can look it up if you are curious!!
Reply:Each season has had a designer create a decoy collection. Perhaps Sweet Pea was allowed to back to do this. I think though there is only 1 or 2 more episodes left to air this season. One is the runway show and maybe one where Tim visits the finalists' homes.
Reply:Season 1 there were three
Season 2 there were three
Season 3 there were four
This season there will only be three Chris and Romi have to battle it out for the spot, spoiler-wise i don't think sweet pea comes back for bryant park but i don't know
they like to keep twists and thats why they change their rules
Reply:Project Runway always has a decoy that participate in the Bryant Park show. There were two decoys, and Sweet Pea was one of them. Next week, we will find out between Chris and Rami who the other decoy is. Although, they were allowed to showcase their designs at Bryant Park, they are not competing to win the money or title as the Project Runway winner. They have decoys to prevent spoiling who the 3 remaining designers are.
Reply:Bryant Park isn't affiliated with Project Runway, meaning any one can show a collection there.
Remember when Kevin (the big straight guy) got kicked off? He stated that he was going to show at Bryant Park anyhow. There were non PR finalists who had a collection at Bryant Park last year also.
