Singing the blues - sweat peas 09:35 - May 19 with 1500 viewsGeoffSentence

Anyone recall the free sweat pea seeds we were given at a Portman Road a few years back?

I have just found one of the packets, it says sow by October 2013 on it. What do you reckon the chances of any of them germinating if I sow them now are?

Will that help them germinate?

Miss Slave did the very same thing a few weeks back along with other aging varieties of sweet pea.....mixed results, some and some......give it a go, what's to lose, you only need one success to have some lovely fresh seed for next year!

It's been done. Though the rather careless manner in which I just shoved them into the ground any old how probably doesn't help their chances.

I'm sure there must be some ITFC analogies in there somewhere! Treat them to some water, hope the mice stay away and you never know! If they come up I imagine it would mean almost certain promotion next season.

Decent seeds, ruined by poor management.

Wouldn't bother with sweat pea seeds tbh mate, sound a bit smelly

Sweet pea seeds on the other hand I'd scatter on some soil, maybe in big pots, and hope a passing shower waters them in!

Found 6 left in the packet of the very same vintage, just direct sowed them at the edge of the veg patch so will report back if we have any luck. Living the dream!

We have germination.

Just one so far, but the Singing The Blues Sweet Pea lives on.

You wait until an angry bee realises he has been deprived of five plants worth of nectar. That 'z buzzz buzz buzz buzz buzzing buz buzzz' translates as 'I never felt more like stinging the blues'.

Oh wait, that's Evans ticket pricing song.
