Oh sweet pea!Won't you come to me!!!

Thanks for that info guys... im still pacing the floor for germ...

Thanks Don and Xerantheum.
I know what the pkg says, but I think it's a bit too early to plant here...but hey..maybe not? I forgot..I just got a couple of cold frames!
Yeah...I agree, that's a bit too deep for them, Don.
Did you soak yours first? Or nick them?

Marcy, sweet peas can take freezing temperature even in the 20's .. do the winter sowing thing with them .. pot them up and leave them outside .. they'll know when it's safe to come out.

I kicked mine outdoors...

Soaked them for a few hours,they did plump up somewhat and looked like a tail was coming out of he seed,little white squiggly thingy!
Got my hanging basket in the window of the sunroom,it's really warm in the re 75* so hoping for some fast germination,still says 90 days to flowering,so June may have flowers!

Ok..if it's gonna take until June, I best get mine planted too...lol!!
Good luck on yours!

EEEKS, cant wait that long!

Hope it doesn't take 90 days!!!LOL
Luck to you too!

Can't believe my lying eyes!!!! LOL

Only 4 days!

Wow!! Did you give them bottom heat or just plenty of sunshine?????

Right next to a south window!

Alright! I'll try that...although I have to move a bunch of coleus...since I only have one south window...lol!

Guess you need to put shelves ,on your south window,so you can put lots of plants in front of it!LOL

Now that's a good idea...why didn't I think of that???

Thats why you have me around!!!LOL

Righttttttt...I KNEW there was a reason....LOL!!!

Yes. Mike had to restore it all...and he didn't even yell at me...lol. He said mine was number 20 that he had done this month..because of viruses!!
I'm still adding back my programs and have to add my email addresses too.

4 days huh? Gonna haveta try that. I booted 5 pots outside.. its still frosty here.. but they are talking 50s by the weekend....will it last?

Mine are right next to the window where they get the warm sunshine!

So how are your sweet peas coming along? I was wrong last night...I see no sprouts yet...darn it!
But we do have some mild sunshine today..yayyyy!!

No sweet peas sprouting here..

Been working on coleus and watering and cleaning up house plants... what a mess.. I had a pile of ants hatch from one of my dianthus pots....so been trying to beat the pants off them... they hatched in my office of all places so its RAID, vacuuming, watering , restacking day and oh, did I mention making cuttings... Yep what a mess! Ants and ladybugs... Sure wish the ladybugs would eat the ants cuz I got enough ladybugs in the house coming back to life now too! LOL! Indoor gardening, not without its trials.

If I get time, I will try to remember to pot up another batch of sweet peas or at least soak them for tomorrow!

Its beyond me how Ohi has better weather than us here! LOL! Although the sun is out and it feels warmer than it has been. Still have patches of snow on piles from plowing. LOL! Send real estate brochures! Our weather still sucks!

Noooooo...our weather isn't better than yours! We still have piles of snow left too. Still have two ft. drifts the sides of our driveway! But it is gonna be warming up starting this weekend!
I had an ant problem last yr..so know what you mean! And I always have ladybugs. I don't care how good a bug they are supposed to be...I don't like them! They bite...and they smell!!

LOL! Well, my mistake on the weather! Well lets hope spring has finally moved in...

More germinating today,we have sunshine and 52*

Still gotta soak mine.. still doing coleus.. what a mess!

I finally got the ants kilt and cleaned. Were having them fer dinner! LOL!

I saw that Don! And it's coming my way for the weekend!!

50's maybe. Today what lil I did outside, the sun felt warm! YAY!

YAY! Coleus is done...finsihed cleaning one plant stand and watering all the plants for that and restocking.. working on stand #2. I did a pile of impatien cuttings too.
