my paternal grandmother had them growing in her yard
always a bouquet on the table.
I think of them through the years and have never planted and now with smaller garden I have 3
bare trellises where roses did not grow these damp woods.
A thought
will look on Amazon and there they were
They grow wild, the color pink on some of these country roads but this is a mixture of beautiful colors
and the description says they are fragrant.
So seeds with special memories will be planted and also remember my father calling me
"sweet pea"
when I was growing up
hated it as time went by.......
Strange as you age - so many memories surface.
Have never seen these plants a Lowe's.
Sunny, breezy day.

They will be so pretty growing in your garden. We have the wild pink ones, but this assortment of colors looks wonderful. I like the memories you shared, too.
Easier to grow from see then transplant I would think. I love them and used to have them growing on a small white fence in front of my wee small (1st) home. I haven't grown them in years. I wonder if they would grown in a porch railing planter and cascade down? I may experiment this spring.
My mother grew them in the Colorado mountains. They were brilliant climbing a trellis under a window!
My mother grew them and oh how they climbed, I still recall the smell.
Your chicken soup and scarves look good. I'm a scarf woman.

I do love sweet peas. Sometimes they grow well, and other years not at all. Such a gift when they do.
