If you're a "vegetarian", butter is OK. Vegans won't eat it because it's a dairy product.

I'm having sweet peas, sweet corn and jasmine rice as my vegetarian meal. I added butter is that cheating
just make the meat look good and forget the animal it is in a better place! Doesn't that make you feel better than the animals suffering in real life, INFACT I think they want to be killed and eaten! :D Report It

Reply:Wow... maybe you should figure out what kind of vegetarian you are! As far as I know, vegetarian eat butter. You might want to put some meat substitutes in there (tofu is good cooked) for protein. I'm a vegetarian and I eat butter. It's vegans that don't eat butter. Another thing... if you are "cheating" you should rethink being vegetarian. Vegetarianism is not like a diet: you can't cheat. You're either care about animals and are in this for life or you're not. Think about it before you call yourself vegetarian.
Reply:People post on here all the time asking if what they do is wrong or if they've violated the "rules" of vegetarianism. There are no rules. There are as many different type of vegetarians as there are just about anything else in this world.





If you're going for the vegan lifestyle, then don't eat butter. If you are going for a lacto-vegetarian or lacto-ovo-vegetarian lifestyle, then eat butter if you like it.





Now, personally, I don't like to consume products that come from milk, just because of the suffering dairy cows endure and supporting that industry is just not something I want to do.
Reply:If you are vegetarian you can eat butter, cream, cheese and eggs vegans actually eat no no no animal derived products including honey. Edit to fluffy cat the vegan diet is actually the most healthiest diet however you should be etaing low fat, low carbs and lots of vegetables if you only lived on chips and chocolate its not good for you. However a bowl of lentil soup with crusty italian bread, a summer salad, a chinese soup with tofu and rice noodle and 8 leafy green vegetabes and fruit (not all at once ) is very healthy. Toast with vegan spread and vegemite, orange juice, fruit, salad sandwich, more fruit, carrot sticks, steamed brown rice with vegetables and an apple with 8 or more glasses of water and jasmin tea is good for you however if you over eat and eat potatoes and bread and rubbish and drink fizzy drinks you will get fat and have rotten teeth!!!! Go to egan wolf.com they have useful information. the trick to a vegan diet is read, read and read and research on the internet!!
Reply:Better yet this is what you should do





Trust me make some chicken wings, hamburgers with french fries and everything will seem fine the only thing you have to worry about is SCHOOL, not the animals, maybe dogs and cats but not the food, just make the meat look good and forget the animal it is in a better place! Doesn't that make you feel better than the animals suffering in real life, infact I think they want to be killed and eaten! :D
Reply:No, that is NOT CHEATING. A lacto-ovo vegetarian diet is way more healthy than a vegan diet.





You would be better off using brown rice as brown rice has more essential nutrients and needed fiber.
Reply:not a vegetarian yet and will never be...











NEXT!
Reply:no but the ice cream and apple pie is
Reply:Yes because butter is a dairy product made from milk that comes from cows. That's a vegetarian no-no.

After sweet peas have died off, do I cut them back to just before the soil and will they grow again next year?

Sweet peas are an annual plant; you need to resow each year. Save the seeds off your plants before you cut them down.

After sweet peas have died off, do I cut them back to just before the soil and will they grow again next year?
Yes, cut them down. Save some seeds to plant next year. They are an annual and only grow untill they go to seed.





Turn the vegitation in to the ground, or compost it.
Reply:they will only grow back if you cut them at the end of the season. So YES!

My sweet peas are dying any ides why i water them often and last year they were ok help x?

its probably the amount of rain we have had i have busy Lizzie baskets and sweet peas baskets and both have been affected by the amount of rain we have had this summer,


if its nothing to do with the rain,have you checked the stems and the roots sometimes they get damaged or eaten by wild rabbits and that can be a cause for them dying

Are sweet-peas flowers or vegetables?

They're both, really. A sweet-pea grown for its flowers is a plant from the tribe Vicieae, as is the plant that we grow for green peas that we eat at the table. The flower is Lathyrus odoratus (L. odoratus); the vegetable is Pisum sativum (P. sativum). They are not quite the same plant, but are very closely related - same tribe, but different genus and species.

Can sweet peas, strawberries, raspberries and cucumbers all be planted together in one flowerbed?

No, I would plant all but the cucumbers together. You will have cucumbers climbing up your plants. They have very long vines and need room to spread out. They may smother your other plants.

Can sweet peas, strawberries, raspberries and cucumbers all be planted together in one flowerbed?
Depends on how big the bed is. You will definitely have to watch the cucumbers and their vines, they do not have deep roots, but if you do not have them climbing they may strangle your other plants.


Word of caution: the strawberries will spread like you cannot imagine! By next year they can quadruple!
Reply:i have no idea but you could try............
Reply:Just remember the strawberries and the raspberries are perrinials, and both will spread out quite a bit. If I were you I would give these plenty of room.
Reply:Yes, but watch out for the cucumbers, they really spread.

What type of pest or insect eats pea plants?

I've had 2 new vegetable sweet pea plants disappear from my garden. (They were not stolen and 6" tall.) Something must've eaten them because there is is no visible trace of the stem or plant itself. It is 100% gone. What could be eating pea plants so hungrily?

What type of pest or insect eats pea plants?
Mice and aphids are number one enemies of the young plants and seeds; so are slugs and snails! Wrong time of year for aphids... I bet it was some snails!

You can get a game camera, it works on an infrared light and will take pictures of whatever is eating your garden, at at least the mystery will be solved.

Planting Sweat Pea?

I have started indoors, a packet of sweet pea's. They are very tall right now. I would like to plant them in a place in my front yard where they will look nice, but not sure if the sun they would get (from 2pm to sunset) would be enough. They are in shade until around 2pm. Does this sound like enough sun? Also, does anyone know if they transplant well? I have peat moss to mix in with the clay soil. Any opinions would be appreciated! And I am located in the midwest...so that would be zone 6, I believe. Thank you!

Planting Sweat Pea?
sweet peas are like moning glories, they can be planted just like any other flower but the need a trellis or something to vine on to they grow upward and tall.
Reply:Yes you can plant them out and they should be ok. They may take a little longer to establish with that amount of sunlight.





Don't forget to pinch off all but the bottom 4 sets of leaves. That will ensure the plants are thicker and that you will have more flowers. It may seem harsh but they will be much better for it.





happy planting.

Biology question on pea plants?

A greenhouse manager raising sweet peas notices that unlike the plants she has had in other years, some of the flowers this year are white. Previously, the pea flowers have been purple. What explanation would account for this difference in the plants?

Biology question on pea plants?
it sounds as though the pea plants she has had in other years had the recessive white gene and the dominant purple one. hence, they were purple. this year, however, when the plants were "crossed", the luck of the draw determined that the dominant gene was not passed along, and so in the absence of a dominant gene to make the flowers purple, they are white.
Reply:Mutation or wrong effect of pesticides etc.
Reply:Either mutation, or fertilazation of the pea plant from a foriegn pea plant, not in the greenhouse. See this is explained through mendelian genetics, look it up its helpful.
Reply:maybe you should do your own bio homework...
Reply:The pea plants could have had the recessive white gene.
Reply:White can be recessive. Say purple = A and White =a


Both parents are Aa. So when you cross 2 Aa plants you'll get AA (purple), Aa (purple), aA (Purple), and aa (white!) This works if your teacher meant a genetic reason.
Reply:Hey, no fair, I wasn't able to post my homework questions when I needed help! :)

How much space (depth and width) would I need for my sweet peas?

I am planning on growing sweet peas along the wall of my house and am going to sow the seeds in long wooden planters - in light of this what do you recommend the size of these planters to be?

How much space (depth and width) would I need for my sweet peas?
Last year, I had started sweetpeas in a plastic window box. It was about 7inches high X 5inches wide and 2 1/2 feet long. By the time they were 1/2foot tall their roots were congested('rootbound') with each other and had reached well to the bottom.It was a tangled mess and they couldn't be transplanted. So i suppose you must build a bit deeper than I did. I am trying sweetpeas again this year since they grow so well from seed. I already have several well on their way and planted in a garden bed with a 6' trellis behind them. It is important to have something for them to support themselves on at a very low height. My trellis goes all the way to ground level. Some ppl start at 1foot but that would not be good for these plants. Hope i helped some. This is only my second year gardenin %26amp; I'm still just learning.
Reply:That is probably a trial and error type of consideration.


You must allow probably 9" to 12" indepth. That allows for plenty of room for the roots. I would also go with the same size for the width. If you make have one too small and need it bigger then you have a size issues.


If you look at the sizes on this link you can get a general idea.


http://www.bytheyard.net/planters-c-10.h...


and


http://www.calibex.com/balcony-planter/z...


They all appear to be 9" deep or more.





Edited: You need to consider the size being next to the house which will dwarf the looks of planter if not appropriate in size.
Reply:Well as far as depth an average window box depth of about 8 or 9 in. will be fine, Sweet peas are an annual and traditionally shallow rooted. Length depends on how much wall you are trying to cover. your real thing is going to be height I have been very successful with mine and have had vines over 10 feet tall. so on top of your container you need something for them to climb up. Make sure that what ever it is that it is secure, my first attempt at sweet peas was a success but the trellis was not secure and the weight of the vines kept pulling it down over time because it became so top heavy. Good luck.
Reply:You can use small windowbox-sized boxes if you like. I'd say a minimum of 5-6 inches deep and across...and as long as you like. If you use bigger boxes, they won't need to be watered as often. They small ones you'll need to water every day.
Reply:I've never grown sweet peas in containers, but I wouldn't imagine they need much room at all. I used to grow regular peas in a window box - you could probably use something just as small. Although if you get something bigger of course you could put in some nice bedding plants too - that's up to you.


Basically, I reckon anything will do, as long as you keep them fed and watered : )

Does anyone have any tips on how to grow sweet peas?

I planted some in late may, they did horible. They are only 8 inches tall, and still haven't bloomed. I seen on TV that their sweet peas are about 6 feet tall right now. How can I get mine to grow that tall, and bloom fast? Any tips or suggestions? I live in Zone 5, Ontario Canada. Thanks in advance.

Does anyone have any tips on how to grow sweet peas?
Thanks again for the hardiness zone reference. I am also in zone 5.





My sweet peas also did poorly. I suspect that our cool nights might have slowed down the growth. Or perhaps cool ground temperature. Try a weekly dose of a water soluble fertilizer, such as Ferti-lome 'rooting and blooming solution'.





Otherwise monitor the amount of water (not too much/ too little). Ofcourse, mine did poorly and then were finished off by the rabbits, the ravenous rabbits, so I couldn't try anything to encourage them to grow. I'll have to live vicariously through my answers...





I hope that this helps
Reply:1) Like peas, they need something to climb on. Do you have a trellis or strings or a fence out for them to grow up?


2) They don't like to get too dry. Water them every day.


3) Is your seed old? Was it packaged for this year?


4) Peas like really fertile topsoil w/ lots of manure/humus in it. How's your soil? Your county extension agent will test it for free for you. If it's too acidic or too alkaline, they can and will tell you what to do for free.


5) Are your sweet peas getting enough sun, or did you plant them in a place that's too shady?


6) Have you fertilized them? Try some MiracleGro and see if that helps.


7) Have you weeded around them so that they are not in any kind of competition w/ weeds or other plants for nutrients?





That's all I can think of now. Good luck to you!

Do u hav to blanch ur freshly picked sweet peas & Y?

just picked a ton of sweet peas %26amp; am wondering if I have to dip them in boiling, then cold before freezing them. Why is this nessesary ?

Do u hav to blanch ur freshly picked sweet peas %26amp; Y?
Anything you plan to freeze needs to be blanched for safety's sake. To prevent any bugs from being in your veggies when you freeze them and any bacteria that may have gotten on your peas from natural fertilizers, etc. If you Blanch then quick cool, it shouldn't effect the quality of the peas. Just takes a little time. Don't put in the freezer warm though. Causes them to shrivel.
Reply:Yes...it helps keep them crisp, and sets the color.

Is there a special way to grow sweet peas?

im not very good with gardening and thort sweet peas wud be easy to grow but sum1 told me they were quite hard to grow.

Is there a special way to grow sweet peas?
I grew sweet peas and they are easy to grow, I had success, and they were delicious...The most important thing to remember is sweet peas are a cold weather plant...free of frost of course, I bought "Martha Stewart" seeds and followed the directions on the back, and it worked. Make sure when you plant you seeds that they are in a nice row, and not too crowded, that's where "thinning" comes in...Just remember that they cannot take the heat...and when watering them water them from the bottom (in the soil) and not overhead watering and they are subject to "mold disease", although I believe her seeds are "mold proof". If you're talking about the flowers, they are easy also, same rule applies about the heat, and they must have strings or a fence to climb.
Reply:Plant them in some new soil so that they have plenty of nutrients, keep them watered, especially during this hot weather, and they will need a trellis or something to climb up. When they are flowering you will need to cut them daily (they smell gorgeous indoors in a vase) and this will encourage them to keep on flowering. They are very easy to grow and a beautiful flower.
Reply:As you are not good with gardening the best thing to do would be to buy the plants now.


They are sold quite cheaply ready grown in little pots and usually come in to nurseries/ garden centres about the same time as the bedding does. Plant in the ground (adding some nice copmpost to the planting hole) not in pots as they never seem to do too well if confined and give them a good general purpose feed.


When they have finished flowering do not pull them out. Wait until the seeds have ripened...they are in pea pods and the pods will dry and go brown when the seed is ripe....and plant the seeds straight away where you want them to grow for the following year. That way you will have sweetpeas growing much earlier in the season and can keep an endless supply of them going. I do this with mine every year, works a treat :)
Reply:Depends if you are using plants or seeds? If plants they are easy just watch out for slugs!


And seeds are easy too!


The only contorversey i have come across with sweet peas is whether you should soak the seeds prior to planting, some packets say you should and others don't mention it. I have tried both ways and both work but...soaking the seeds first i found that the soil was a bit stodgy and seeds were moldy green things that had managed to sprout!!!
Reply:Use the dark arts. Black magic can help them grow. I know this because vampires love them. But careful what spell you use. One might make them mutate and eat you alive....wait..is that a bad thing?
Reply:no, they are quite easy, just plant them in your backyard, their not that hard to grow.you might also want to grow them in pots first.
Reply:They have to be grown against a frame or an obelisk because they are climbers. We planted some yesterday so all we have to do now is water them and feed them occasionally.
Reply:the best way is to soak the seeds in warm water in a flask over night and then plant in compost with feed built in

When is the best time to plant Sweet Peas for my December 08 wedding?

I wish to grow my own little garden of flowers to be used in my wedding next year. Reds and purples are what I'm aiming for in Sweet Peas, Roses and Tulips.

When is the best time to plant Sweet Peas for my December 08 wedding?
Visit this link:


http://www.ehow.com/how_6720_grow-sweet-...
Reply:Sweet peas should be planted in the late winter, February is a good time, they need the cold to germinate.I don't know if they will still be around for a December wedding as they will be killed back when it freezes. Tulips bloom in April-May and roses in the summer. You can force tulips to bloom, and some roses bloom continuously through the summer, depending on where you are.

What is the Best support for sweet peas?

Should I use bamboo sticks, chicken wire fence or just staple twine up and down against the fence I planted them?


last time I used plastic netting and the sweet peas looked straggly and did'nt seem to like the netting. Any experienced suggestions? Thanks in advance.

What is the Best support for sweet peas?
I grow sweet peas every year, and they require a little more care than some flowers. I seem to have the best luck using trellises. You can get them inexpensively almost anywhere. Another thing that works well is fishing line. Get a dowel cut to the length you need, run it along the top of the fenceline, and tie fishing line, so that it hangs down to the ground. The vines will grow up them.
Reply:I've always been disappointed with climbing sweet peas, lovely flower, make good cut flowers for indoors, but too well liked by the slugs and snails - too high maintenance, in fact! As a suggestion, instead of using bamboo canes use 'pea sticks' if you have done any hard pruning earlier keep back 3' lengths of twigs and use these instead of bamboo - looks more natural.
Reply:I like bamboo stakes. Use four and position them like a tepee. Use natural color twine to tie them at the top. When the plant reaches the top of the "tepee", cut it so that the base bushes out more.


good luck.

Next year, can I sow my morning glories, sweet peas, and other flowers indoors n March first?

I planted my sweet peas in june, but they are only a foot high. I think I planted them late. I have a lot of morning glories, and in some places they are 8 feet high, and in some only 2 feet. There are some other flowers i'd like to start indoors too so they will grow, and bloom faster, like sweet wiliam, and other summer flowering annuals. Can I do sow my morning glories, sweet peas, and the other flowers indoors in march, will they bloom faster grow faster ect? I live in ontario zone 5.

Next year, can I sow my morning glories, sweet peas, and other flowers indoors n March first?
Yes you can. I started seeds indoors in February for petunias and marigolds and morning glories and tomatoes and other things. It was a little too early. The morning glories got out of control! I had the plants under florescent lights. You put the lights just inches above the plants and they grow just great. I think March would be a good time to start them in your zone but be prepared to have them get pretty viney before it is time to plant them. Mine are growing all over the side of the house now and I had tomatoes before the end of June. I am in zone 5/6. The lights are important to keep the plants from getting too leggy. And you don't need grow-lights, any cheap florescent light works.
Reply:Yes, you can. I would start them earlier than March. Make sure you keep the seedlings moist.
Reply:Absolutely.





Most hardware stores or home centers can sell you a small kit with everything you need to start seeds indoors. All you need to supply are the seeds, water and a good warm, sunny window.

you should harden off if they are in side, they will hang down alright but as they get big you will need to put some stones over roots to hold them there
Reply:I have grown sweet peas in hanging baskets and in window boxes and they will hang nicely. I have had 4 or 5 foot long tendrils come out of window boxes. You can plant sweet peas this time of year as they like cooler weather.





If you want them to run down a wall you will have to use fencing or netting and use little twistie ties to force them the direction you want.
Reply:it should work but wait a little while longer before putting out and acclimatise first, you can also get trailing varieties which would work.
Reply:You can try - they have an upward growing habit, but it could work. I'd be interested in hearing about your results.

Are you 100% sure that they haven't flowered? For awhile I was having that same problem with my lillies. Only to find out that deer were coming by at night and eating everything in site!!

Sweet Peas when do I take off the pods please?

Hi My sweet peas have finished flowering unfortunatley and am left with just the pods which have seeds in them I presume can anyone help with what I do with this pods and when. Many thanks

Sweet Peas when do I take off the pods please?
If the pods are still green you may still be in time to encourage more flowers by cutting them all off now and watering the plants well. It you want to save the seeds however wait till the pods start to lose their colour and then pick them and put them in a paper not plastic bag to finish ripening/drying out.If the peas are not the "vegatable" type do not eat them.
Reply:I'm going to take it you mean the type of flowers that are known as sweet peas and not the vegetable. If you're wanting to collect seed pods in order to use the seeds next year, you need to wait until they're dry. Try to do it before the first frost, because that will often cause the pods to open and the seeds fall out. Otherwise, just let them become quite dry before you pick them.
Reply:sweet peas and beans are really fun to grow, becasue they grow so quickly and the flowers are pretty.





You can take the pods off and eat them just as they are at any time when they seem ready. Some people like them to be really tiny and eat them whole when they are tender and young.





Some like to let the peas inside grow and then take those out of the pod and eat those by themselves.





Fresh vegetables are the best.. steam them, a tiny bit of salt, and there you go.. enjoy!
Reply:Since the sweet peas are done blooming, you can leave those pods on the vine until just before the first frost. Then pick the pods, take the seeds out and store them. They are free seeds for next years planting. Or, let mother nature take care of it. The pods will dry, hang on the vine and hopefully pop open to allow the seeds to drop and start new plants. I have found this to be the easiest, but do often times need to help the seeds out of the pod mid winter by rubbing them open. Happy planting. And aren't those sweet peas just the most fragrant for such a small flower. Love em.,
Reply:Because you have left the pods on this is why you have no flowers, once a plant thinks it has enough seeds it will stop producing flowers, when growing in future take seed pods as soon as they begin if you want the seed for the following year leave to ripen you will be able to feel the pea's inside the pod,


for all plants as the flowers die of you should remove them except when growing on for seed's.

Sweet Peas in a Can...cooking suggestions?

It's a side dish so it doesn't have to be anything fancy, but I've never made anything with Sweet Peas so I don't know how to cook them...

Sweet Peas in a Can...cooking suggestions?
Pour into a pot, add a little pepper and onion pwoder, add a Tbsp of butter, and warm thoroughly. Serve.
Reply:Canned sweet peas aren't too good cooked. Chilled, with diced celery and onion, chopped boiled egg, mayo (wasabi mayo is a nice exotic way to kick it up), and just a touch of red wine vinegar and you have a nice pea salad.
Reply:sautee some chopped or diced onion and pepper, add chives, brussel sprouts, ?and(collard,"greens"),IN Olive oil.. and then ... add , a small amount of salt ,pepper, and apple vinegar(add the peas), and top your side with a small amount of Italian dressing. can add a judicious(small) amount of mayo if you let it cool down.
Reply:Sweet Pea Salad





1 can sweet peas


1 tablespoon finely chopped onion


1 teaspoon sweet pickle relish


1 boiled egg (chopped)


1 tablespoon mayo


season to taste





mix it all up...and chill for about an hour. Really good as a side dish.
Reply:GARDEN PEAS AND CORN





2 cans whole corn


2 tablespoons butter


2 cans green garden peas


1 teaspoon seasoning salt


1 onion, sliced





Sauté onion in butter, add other ingredients and mix well. Serve warm.

1 can peas, drained


2 tbsp. minced onion


1/4 c. melted butter


1 tsp. sugar


3/4 tsp. salt


1 sm. lemon, thin sliced %26amp; seeded





Mix everything together but the lemon slices, and turn into a 1 quart casserole. Stand the lemon slices up in the peas at intervals. Bake 15 minutes at 135 degrees and serve hot.
Reply:stir fry them with some chilli olive oil and throw in a few pine nuts
Reply:If they are in a can don't add anything because the texture and flavour wont blend the exception would be if you have canned carrots or yams (you might try canned sliced mushroom the flavours will be similar but the texture will be different)and you could put them into the pot with the peas. Similar texture %26amp; flavour. Don't cook them, they only need to be heated for serving. When I was single, I was very good friends with cans. If it was in a can or a jar that was good enough for me. Things change but I learned a lot in those years.
Reply:This reminds me of an old college meal I once made. It's a quick casserole consisting of pasta (something like rotini or bow tie pasta), canned sweet peas, a can or two (depending on how much you like it) of tuna fish, some mustard, a little mayonnaise, and salt and pepper. For an added kick, add some crushed chili flakes, and a pinch of nutmeg.





Another quick vegetable base would be to take some of the baby carrots from the grocery store, boil/steam them until tender. Warm up the peas after you remove the carrots. In a medium saucepan (big enough to hold the vegetables) melt a few tablespoons of butter, 1/4 cup of chicken stock/broth until it simmers. Add the peas and carrots and stir to mix with the buttered broth. Remove from the heat and stir in some chopped tarragon or fresh chopped mint.
Reply:drain throughly mix with a bit of mayo add some pepper and there ya have it
Reply:They are already cooked, you just add pepper and salt, and a chunk of butter. Warm slowly on stove top or best in microwave. I drain canned peas if I use them, you may add a small amount of water to them, but not a lot.





I like to make pea salad for a side dish. Depending how many cans you use, add a small jar of pimentoes drained, some chopped onion, 2 chopped hard boiled eggs, salt and pepper, bit of prepared mustard, and miracle whip salad dressing. Mix the dressing together first, then add to peas as you will mash the peas if you stir too much.

Do I need to pluck off the tops of my sweet peas to improve their growth?

My mum told me that I need to pinch of the tips of my sweet pea plants in order to improve their flowering later. Is this right? If so, how much do I pluck off? thanks!

Do I need to pluck off the tops of my sweet peas to improve their growth?
As mentioned, plucking off the tip help the plant to make more side shoots (branches out) and thus one plant will cover a larger section of fence. To keep the plant flowering as long as possible, even up to the first frost, you have to keep snipping off flowers for the vase, and all bits of flowers that have finished flowering. If you let the flowered bits become seeds, then the plant will not last the whole summer. The whole idea of a plant flowering, is so that the plant can make seeds to reproduce itself. If you keep on removing the seeds then the plant will continuously make new flowers for its reproduction. If you want to keep a few seed for next year´s so wings, it´s wise to tie a bit of wool around the stem of a special colour to remind yourself not to cut it off.
Reply:Yes. And pick the flowers when they come to encourage lots more to grow.
Reply:Yes to encourage flowers pluck of the top leader
Reply:plucking and pinching are two different things ... to get more flowers you need to "pinch" out the growing tips ... after you have got 3 true pairs of leaves pinch out the growing tip ... then once they start flowering you need to pick the flowers daily ... so the plants don't stop producing flowers
Reply:Some clever varieties are naturally dwarf and bushy, pinching out is not required. With the standard tall growing Spencer varieties you can nip out the growing tips at 2 full leaves.
Reply:If you pluck to the tops, you will encourage the side growth, this will delay the full top growth It will not affect the timing of flowering, which will be more since the side growth will have more buds. this is usually done on mums to have more flowers. It is call heading.
Reply:No need as that just makes them bushier. What you need to do is to remove all the flowers as they die. Once they set seed then they will stop flowering if the seed pods are allowed to develop.
Reply:If you remove the growing tips at the top of a plant it causes it to bush out so once you've established a good height spread you could do this to give more horizontal growth and hopefully lots more flowers :)

Treat aphids or virus first on sweet peas?

My plants are turning yellow,drying out and dying. I have found what I think are brown aphids, but they also look very much like pictores of sweet pea viruses.

Treat aphids or virus first on sweet peas?
Aphids are usually little whitish waxy looking things that gravitate to roses. You can kill those by spraying a solution of water with a little dish soap mixed in. Take a piece of an affected plant to your local nursery - someone there should be able to direct you.
Reply:buy a big bag of lady bugs at your local nursery!!! They really do work..my parents used to have huge aphid probs and the lady bugs worked really well
Reply:Treat the aphids. There isn't much you can do for the virus, sad to say. I'd purchase some oil at your local garden store (Ortho makes it). Aphids can transmit viruses, (can also be transmitted by thrips or leafhoppers, etc) so if you have peas that are not affected yet, get those aphids!





How old are the pea plants? Do you think they are naturally dying off, maybe it is too hot for them. If they are grying out, that isn't a good thing. They may be stressed if they aren't getting enough water. They may need some TLC.





As far as the virus, are you able to replant your peas or do they carry sentimental or other value? You should try to replant with something else, or a virus-resistant type of pea (it should tell you on the seed packet). Make sure you gather all the debris from the ground, since some viruses can survive in the ground without a host. Viruses can also survive on weeds (alternate hosts), so get rid of those as well.





There are no chemical controls for viral diseases in plants. Do not apply a fungicide because a virus is not a fungus, and it will not work. The best control is to plant disease resistant plants, sterilize garden equipment used to prevent the spread of the virus, control weeds and insects to prevent spread.
Reply:Gosh, I don't know for sure. The aphids are sucking the life out of the plant so I guess I would treat that first. Just a guess. Are you talking about flowers or English peas, the vegetable. Because if it's the flower, you might try Orthonex, which contains both an insecticide and fungus control, but you can't put it on anything edible. Go to www.ortho.com and check it and other chemicals out. Good luck.

Gardeners who have grown sweet peas!!!?

How long does it take for a sweet pea seed to sprout and i need some info on how long it takes for them to grow.





Like every 2 days after one sprouts does it get bigger by half an inch or something?

Gardeners who have grown sweet peas!!!?
Sweet pea seeds have very hard coatings and it is best to scarify them before planting.Use a sharp knife to chip the outer covering of the seed otherwise they seem to take for ever to sprout.Soaking in water for a day or two also helps the process.Once they get going in good conditions ,they do grow fast but in my experience,they need fairly cool conditions to bloom well.Temps of 60 to 65 F.Hope this helps.

When to plant sweet peas?

When should I plant my sweet pea seeds?

When to plant sweet peas?
as long as the soil is not too moist. Test it by taking a handful and squeezing it. If it stays together as a lump you are good to go. Sweet peas like to germinate in cool soil.


Right now where I am I am planning on sowing them on Friday.


I would ( and will) soak them in a glass of water for 24 hours before hand. This just gives them a helping hand in braking the outside protective coating.





Have fun.
Reply:You didn't say where you live, but in general after danger of frost has past for spring planting, and you can also plant in fall when the heat of summer has started to fade and you expect slightly cooler days. heat will shorten the life of the plants and they should bloom until first fairly hard frost. to speed up germination soak the seeds in water over night and plant about 1 " deep-Mitch
Reply:I would plant them now. A little trick of the trade is to soak your seeds over night in lukewarm water. More on the cooler side than warm. This helps them germinate faster. Then follow the package directions and make sure you remember that they need quite a bit of sun. I love sweet peas!
Reply:In Southern Australia we generally start planting sweet peas on St Patricks day (17 March). This is one of those old rules of gardening.


Using this rule of thumb anytime in early/mid Autumn would be appropriate. Things are cooling down after summer and the summer annuals are past their best. Time to replace them.

Expert gardeners .. please help.. Sweet peas without adequate support...?

i planted some sweet peas a few weeks ago next to a support about 4 feet tall.. but now the sweet pea plants have already reached the height of 4 feet and keep growing.. they will soon have no support and im scared they may not flower without adequate support. will my plants die will i have flowers this year.. expert gardeners .. please help..

Expert gardeners .. please help.. Sweet peas without adequate support...?
You can let sweet peas trail or support them on a trellis, but they're not dependent on being supported to flower. You could let them "weep" down from the top of the trellis or weave them into the trellis going downward, once they've topped out.





(Wow, what zone are you that your sweet peas are already that high?!)





I envy you - mine are a scant 6" high, and I was pleased at that much progress this early in the season! :-)
Reply:Just let them cascade, they will still flower

Problem with my Sweet Peas?

This year i grew Sweet peas from seed in containers in the house they were on the window sill until i planted them in May they are in a good sunny position in the garden and they have really strong stalks i've been proping them up to stop them trailing too much and they are really huge but so far i've still only got foilage and no flowers ,the sweet pea that i just scattered in a flower pot have lots of flowers have i did something wrong or am i just being impatient ,I did have a problem at first with slugs but that was dealt with and the plant has really grown but where is my flowers.Any use ful ideas will go a long way to solve my problem

Problem with my Sweet Peas?
Oh dear, don't panick, this year has been a very trying year as far as plants go.


I was in the same position only three weeks ago. I grow them up a trellis on the end of one of my raised beds, they became so high they too started to hang awkwardly. My hubby decided he couldn't get round with the lawn mower, so, what do you think he did? took the sears and reduced them by half, I wasn't at all pleased, however I couldn't believe my eyes when i saw them flowering profusely last Friday.


I'm cutting them already and giving them to all my neighbours who comment how nice they are.


I honestly couldn't believe it. Maybe you could try cutting them back in this way.


p.s I live in a flooded area with heavy clay soil
Reply:The nitrogen levels may have been too high in the soil where the ones that are not blooming are located. Nitrogen promotes leaf growth. Add some potassium to the soil, it promotes blooms. It's available at some nurseries and Granges as a supplement. There is likely enough potash, which promotes root health, since your plants are otherwise healthy. Depending on how much warm weather you have left this season you may get blooms.
Reply:No you are not being inpatient. Maybe you are like me. Most things turn out alright, but sweet peas seem to be a rule to themselves. I have an aunt who has a display every year without ( yes I am green with envy, forget the fingers.)


Anyway you have a month to go yet if we get a burst of summer sunshine.
Reply:I've also had problems with my sweet peas this year, mainly that they've been extremely late in flowering.





what you need to remember, is when the seedlings are very young, you need to pinch out the top growth as soon as you get a side shoot. This encourages a bushy, healthier plant and more importantly - lots more Flowers.


better luck next year.
Reply:It's coming to the end of their season so you may not get any flowers on them now.
Reply:my sweet peas have not had many flowers this year i think its cos its been so wet
Reply:Mine were just the same until recently.- lots of leafy growth but no flowers, but they are just started to produce flowers. I think it may have been due to lack of warmth and sun. (I had the slug problem too as it's just been soooooo wet here in Gloucestershire)
Reply:you can find your answer here http://swee-cool.com . i found it when use google.
Reply:Too near the end of the season to really make changes this year. Next year, nip out the plant from the 3rd double set of leaves and keep doing this on every branch till the plants grow to the height you want them to be. Nip off any dead flowers as soon as you see them and you should get a continual, bumper crop of flowers.
Reply:Plants are traditionally sown in pots in the autumn as this produces sturdy specimens that will be ready for planting out early next spring. They are quite hardy and can be safely grown in a cold frame but will require occasional extra protection during periods of extreme cold and hard frosts. Or, in spring, sow seeds directly where you want them to grow.





Sweet peas are hungry plants and love rich soil with plenty of added humus, and as much sun as they can get.





In periods of cold weather, the developing flower buds may turn yellow and fall off. Some varieties are more prone to this than others, but it is usually only a temporary problem that is cured by the return of warmer weather.
Reply:Sweet peas will do better if you get a lot of rain, they need a lot of water to produce long stalks, potash for a good show of flowers. Mine were and still are excellent, the only problem due to the weather was the green fly. I have known this to happen in the past but always put it down to bad seed. Sweet pea are deep rooted and need lots of good feeding. They should be well into flowering by now.Dig in lots of well rotted manure next spring before planting.
Reply:I love sweet peas, they hate me. My grand mother, mother, land lady in college, everyone in England, including my ex-wife grew them with hardly a second glance. Worked with the annuals for years and nary a blossom. Switched to perennials from locally grown seed two years ago. Last year produced a huge tangled mess of vegetative growth from a dozen plants and TWO BLOSSOMS!!! This year I decided stick with what I know and planted Morning Glories. What do you suppose beat the Glories to the top of the trellis, a single white Sweet Pea with hundreds of blooms. But, get this, after all my trials and tribulations, they are scent free - BUMMER!!! So I'm hoping your question will answer my dilemma as well. If not I plan to try again next year using Glories as a nurse crop. RScott.

Sweet Peas (the flower, not veg) in containers...Anyone try?

I am so in love with sweet pea flowers I was going to try them in a large container (18-20 inch)


There are both the short bush types (24 inch tall) and the regular vines.


I dont know if I should plant the short ones, or the tall ones with a small trelis.


Anyone try sweet peas in containers before?


Any suggestions?


Thanks a bunch

Sweet Peas (the flower, not veg) in containers...Anyone try?
I used to grow the tall ones up a trellis in a container in the north or England %26amp; they did really well. I cannot grow them at all in south west USA though. So much of it depends where you are. I would definitely try the taller ones though, they are far more beautiful (to me) than the shorter ones.





If you keep cutting the flowers, %26amp; taking them into the house to make the house smell great, they should bloom for a long time for you. you can always tip them if they start to get too tall too. They kind of enjoy some pruning %26amp; attention as they are growing, they are well worth the trouble though.
Reply:Grow the short ones, they are very good and I think the climbing ones will get too big for a small trellis. Also it may be hard to keep the moisture levels up in a pot to keep all the top growth going with the large ones. Good luck, I love sweet peas also.
Reply:They should be fine in a large pot. Just allow enough room between plants so that they don't compete with each other. They love full sun and are heavy feeders. So fertilize several times throughout the growing season. They can also be planted in hanging baskets and cascade beautifully. You just have to have the hanging basket about 5-6 ft. above the ground.

Question about Sweet Peas....????

Okay, this is my first garden. So I am learning everything as I write this. Things are growing amazingly well at my new house!


I planted sweet pea seeds and laid them along the front yard fence. It is about five feet high. The sweet peas have grown to be beautiful, extremely fragrant and everyone loves them.


BUT they are about eight feet high!


I am wondering if I cut them back about two feet or so will they keep blooming or will the think they are done for the season?





I work at a nursery, but we do not have sweet peas there. I called the Nursery I bought the seeds from and I got two different answers.


One person said they'd be fine...the other said not to do it.





I will probably risk it and use it as a learning experience but if any of you have had sweet peas before and know the answer...I would appreciate it.





I also looked them up in many books..but could not find anything about cutting them back.

Question about Sweet Peas....????
Removing the terminal (top) bud will force auxilliary (lower) buds to grow creating a more compact bushy plant. Pruning them down to 2 feet is a little extreme. Fertilize after pruning to encourage faster recovery growth.
Reply:i dont know that i would cut them.. i would probably try training them to grow down and then back up... like a weaving kinda thing.... cutting them would make the plant spend a lot of energy on recovering from the cut spot.. so maybe at the end of the season cut them back good luck!
Reply:my dad used to grow sweetpeas and they too would grow very high. He would let them dry at the end of the season and collect the seeds for the next year.

Reply:its quite easy to get into a habit of calling your child something else - when the baby is so new and you are still getting used to the name you have decided on and sometimes you just pick a nickname and it sticks - I call my daughter pumkin and my darling (she really likes this one) and her father calls her rastis!! and her grandmother calls her charlie!! so she has lots of different nicknames.
Reply:Starts from when they are in there belly I think. You have no idea what your having (boy/girl) so you need a name that you can use.

Child swallows small round metal or plastic object? Size of a little sweet pea or small tac...what do you do?

Should you call the doctor or will it pass in the stool? It just worries me with all the recent stories of lead in the toys from China

Child swallows small round metal or plastic object? Size of a little sweet pea or small tac...what do you do?
if its plastic he'll be fine but if its metal i think you should call the poisin center or something like that then they'll tell u what to do as for plastic he'll be fine how do i know i used to eat plastic beads when i was little don't know why but i turned out fine( don't judge me)
Reply:If you're concerned about anything that has to do with your child's health, go ahead and call the doctor. They aren't going to mind, and it will help put your mind at ease if there is no problem - or it could help prevent a problem.
Reply:What kind of small metal object is it? To be on the safe side I would call my pediatrician and see what they suggest..there is the possibility that the child could get sick from whatever it is made of.





If you have a children's hospital nearby you might be able to give them a ring and see what the say...





If they are concerned they will usually run an x-ray and see where the object is, how big it is and in most cases it can be safely passed in the stool.





Good luck
Reply:It'll pass with no problem. The lead's in paint, no usually the object itself.





Relax!!

Reply:i would call the doctor, he might suggest that he should


pass it in his stool, he might even prescribe a laxative since


you don't know if it had lead or not.
Reply:You call your doctor of course!!!!!!!!! You do not sit and worry, you do not ask strangers on the internet -- you call the doctor!
Reply:What was it?? If it was pointy or you think it might cause damage going through his digestive system you might want to seek medical care. If it will cause him harm they can pump his stomach and get it out.
Reply:Well something like a Polly Pocket rubber shoe isn't SO bad, but nothing being swalled that's toxic is never good!


If it is sharp it is dangerous. It has to bump into and travel all through the body. Lots of bruises and maybe inside bleeding.
Reply:Call your doctor, but they will probably tell you to just watch the child and see if it passes. My son has a hobby of eating small barrettes and so far they've all made the trip out so I wouldn't worry too much, some, but not too much. Usually the day before it comes through he's super cranky and restless and it takes 2-3 days or so be prepared for the wait.
Reply:I think its totally fine I swollowed a quarter when i was little and nothing happened so I wouldn't worry it going to be okay!
