| Lovely display. How long did they bloom for? Hope you collected seeds! I think my area is mild enough that I can try some of the winter blooming sweet peas. |

| Stunning! What do you have for vertical support? I'm learning to dance in the rain. Thank you, Sally & Chris & Sharon. |

This year, I started with a little metal fence. Once they grew past the fence, I added a green plastic mesh and 6' bamboo sticks. I secure the sticks to the house, under the bottom siding. They got hit with hail a few times this year, so not as nice display. I have to remove some of the lily of the valley also. Last year I had a lot more sweet peas planted in that small space. They do smell wonderful when you open the gate or come around the corner of the house |

| Even a few blooms have such wonderful perfume! That's a great way of supporting them within a fairly narrow space. I don't know if I'd have thought beyond pansies or liriope there! LOL I'm learning to dance in the rain. Thank you, Sally & Chris & Sharon. |

| I have never had much luck with sweet peas. Your plants are beautiful. |

| I am thinking of starting some in late summer and see if they will overwinter and bloom in early spring. |

| The kid sowed some striped sweet peas and the 1st one bloomed today. Last year I had planted/sowed the sweet peas a lot thicker. I liked the display better with more plants   |

| Very pretty!! BTW, I cracked up when I noticed your "tag" just now... it's been a busy week here, so I can relate! I'm learning to dance in the rain. Thank you, Sally & Chris & Sharon. |
