@@matchynishi I sow regular peas directly into the ground, usually in mid-late April, and have always been successful. It's rather unusual to see them being started indoors and then transplanted. When it comes to sweet peas, though, everyone seems to start them indoors, which makes me think they are quite a bit slower growing than eating peas. I have a feeling I started them too late this year.
@@TheGardeningMe I h ave too many slugs/snails/mice/squirrels/idek what that eat both the direct sowed seeds for any beans/peas, sunflowers, squashes etc, so I have to transplant all of them. But I agree with you, next year I'll tray again with starting earlier.
The peas are direct sow and planted way too close. They should be 1-2” apart. You have a bunch in clumps. But the marigolds look awesome. Can you update on those?!
The sweet pea roots were so intertwined that I decided to plant them in groups instead of trying separate them further and maybe killing them...maybe I should have risked it. Marigolds are doing well!
Fantastic! Thank you so much for sharing. Bubble wrap is a great idea for reusing that packing material. am definitely giving this a try
Unlike a lot of gimmicky gardening trends, this one actually works so it's worth giving it a go!
@@TheGardeningMe Your marigolds are very encouraging :)
good to know about the snail roll :) My sweetpeas are also not growing super well lol. 1st year for me here with them!
I really feel that I have to find someone local that has success with them so that I can figure out what I'm doing wrong!
@@TheGardeningMe do we put sweetpeas out the same time as regular peas/snowpeas? It was a bit later than that for me.....
