With a day all to myself I have leisurely been digging through my old photo files. It’s funny how a few pictures can so quickly transport me back to the past. 2009 was our most successful Sweet Pea year to date. The weather was ideal, we got the ground prepped and plants in exactly on time. It was as if the stars aligned for a truly glorious crop. Following is a peek into that magical summer. Enjoy!

Have you tried the Spencers? North Shore is a Spencer variety and they are all MUCH more heat tollerant than other types. My favorite source for seeds is http://www.fragrantgarden.com

Oh be still my heart!! I have such Sweet Pea envy! I try them every year and usually get about a dozen respectable bunches. It's really not a "worthy" crop for me, but they are such a nostalgic bloom to me and the fragrance so heady, I have to try and hope that the stars will align for me sometime. The only variety that has regulary withstood the PA humidity is North Shore from Renee's. Lovely fragrance too.
p.s. – loving all these blog updates. :-)
