This week on the Good Seed Farm…..

Behind the 8 ball once again….after I’ve gardened all week to keep the wolf from the door, finding the time and energy to do it again at home is somewhat a challenge!!!!

I've finally got my sweet pea seedlings in the ground.

Prep time...this area is extremely wet so I've had to add extra soil and compost .

Sweet Sweet Sweet Pea…

Latin name...Lathyrus odoratus

Hardy Annual, full sun and are great pollinators

Delicate, divine and heavenly scented…

Isn’t it the first thing you want to do when you come across sweet peas is to stick your face into them, close your eyes and be carried away with the scent which evokes memories

The Language…

Departure and goodbyes, blissful pleasure, thank you, remember me

My bamboo framing is taking shape

The Cut Flower…

The more you pick the more they flower. They are a fantastic cut and come again.

Cut them and stick them in a vase and enjoy. Keep them in a cool area of the house away from direct sun and heat.

Bamboo frame is up

Sweep peas are in...Varieties White Mammoth, Almost Midnight and Roseus which is a coral rose.
