Thanks for the nice video. Maybe plant the sweet pea seeds directly in the ground after the ground thaws a bit even if they bloom a little later. Much easier. I’m not sure where you are located but I’m in Minnesota and decided to outside winter sow in jugs and water bottles this year plus start more seeds directly in the ground and pots to save me work of starting seeds in the house, hardening them off and then transplanting. I am also going to direct sow my tomatoes and peppers this year in their pots with a water/juice bottle or jug over them like a mini greenhouse and see how quickly they grow in full sun outside. I realize I may have harvests and blooms later but it can also extend the season in late summer when some flowers started earlier are dwindling down. Hope everything does well for you and looking forward to updates.
Thanks for sharing! I've direct sown sweet peas in my raised beds before but something always came and dug them out! I was planning on starting more indoors to fill in the rest of the area along the fence but I think I'll try direct seeding them again and hopefully the hot wire will keep them safe?!
@@easygrowinggardenWorth a try to save a lot of work, right?! Would covering the newly planted seed with a little leaf cover help? That’s the challenge and frustration but also fun of gardening. If we get one seedling to take we are happy and appreciative! 😂
@@shampoo7112 I've never thought about covering it with leaves...it couldn't hurt?! I do agree with the fun or gardening comes from figuring how to get all to work!
