Let’s Plant Some Sweet Peas (Lathyrus odoratus)and See What Happens!

Hi Lovelies, First and foremost, let's be clear, we're talking ornamental sweet peas (Lathyrus odoratus). NOT edible "sweet" peas,as they are sometimes called by veggie loving gardeners.

You see, my tiny little house is a dark wasteland, and the last thing that thrives here are delicate seedlings. Moving the operation outdoors is…

Origin Stories

Hi Lovelies, Origins - I've always been interested in them. Being from what most would consider the south, I'm quite accustomed to hearing phrases that you wouldn't run into elsewhere.
