    I was in my first year flower farming and had a cold spring in Canada. They were so happy in a cold frame and I then planted them in 3 different areas . One variety of three only thrived . Mata Cana from West Coast seeds. I saved seed and they are up now in styro cups in a cold window. They loved a 10 inch raised bed with a picket fence for a shady trellis. I'm trying 3 more varieties and will see if this holds true again this year ! Happy Gardening

    Along with valuable, practical information, this video.was such a visual delight! I can't get enough of the fragrance of some sweet peas -- the ones that smell more like orange blossoms or freesia. The ones that smell closer to stargazer lilies (sharply cloying IMO) no thanks. I'm still figuring out which varieties I like best.

    How gorgeous! I love sweet peas but have never grown them. But this year I thought I’d give them a try. Mine are now six inches in height and already have runners. This is great information. Your video popped up so I was excited to watch. I made a teepee type trellis for a runner. I don’t know the type sweet peas I’ve got so I might better check to see if it will be big enough.

    Hello Angela! I have some questions about your beautiful garden & I hope you have the time to answer. I’m in zone 9b, SoCal. I’m rebuilding my garden & took a lot of inspiration & info from your channel. I’m 100% copying your shade structure. My question is about the Grower’s Solution custom shade cloth. I’ve watched your instillation video & the monsoon weather update. I’d like to know how the shade cloth is still holding up to the sun & wind for you: any tears in the fabric, how the grommets are holding up and anything else you have learned. Do you like the 50% or would you choose 40% if you did it again? Why did you choose white over black? All the nurseries around me have black shade cloth & no one can tell me why black over white (I’ve asked). I’m getting close to ordering my shade & would just like some firsthand knowledge from someone who uses the product. Thank you so much!

    • @GrowingInTheGarden
      @GrowingInTheGarden  Год назад +2

      I chose white because: 1. Diffused light under the shade cloth (less harsh shadows and glare). 2. Increased light quantity and duration for flowering plants than darker types of shade cloth. 3. Reduced heat build-up because it reflects the sunlight.
      Grommets and cloth held up amazingly well in our crazy wind and monsoons. I had one area where the wire was poking into the cloth that made it tear a little, I repaired the shade cloth with a needle and thread and that area held up very well after that as well. I would do the same thing again if I could start over.

    Just to add here, if you plant sweet peas outside in your garden they at my place anyway will be dug up and eaten by birds. I plant only in the greenhouse in Feb so they have a good head start in the spring. We are still in April and my sweet peas are a foot tall. I am on the west coast of British Columbia in zone 9. Another thing to know about them is they are noy all sturdy climbers and not all have aroma. So make sure to read the package before buying.

    I live in east Mesa. I grew purple bean hyacinth from seed and they were so beautiful. I had to delay planting outside due to the cold weather but I did plant outside about 3 weeks ago. They face west. They are not doing as well trurning yellowish and just look weak compared to how they started out. Is it water or is it too much sun?

    • @GrowingInTheGarden
      @GrowingInTheGarden  Год назад

      Our weather has been CRAZY hyacinth bean definitely prefer warm temps and we've had a couple cold nights. Once things are consistently warm, they will perk back up I'm guessing.

      Aphids can be an issue, but if you follow organic gardening principles there are many natural predators of aphids like ladybugs which will help you take care of them.
