Sweet Peas

Posted on by

I have a lot of flowers in my yard

There is a general rule that the flowers in the yard DO NOT get picked.

I like them outside to brighten the yard, they last longer and are prettier outside, nothing is sadder to me than a daisy that looks thin because it has been picked over.

anyway…


There is one exception,
and that is my
Sweet Peas!

I have grown them now for four years and have fallen in love with these flowers,
they are so pretty and different and the
fragrance

HEAVENLY!

I plant these special little beauties in the spring and about June they start to bloom, I cut every single bloom until they stop flowering in August. (By doing that I keep them from going to seed and they bloom longer.) I have small vases in the kitchen and the living room and the smell fills the house.

The best part is filling small jars and sending them to the neighbors, there is nothing like fresh flowers to brighten someones day.

  1. I didn't even know flowers like that existed (where you cut the flowers to get more blooms). Of course, I know nothing about gardening. I know they look beautiful, though.

  2. Beautiful! Something about fresh cut flowers around the house just feels good! I need to get a good system like you!!

  6. Very pretty! I have been looking at your other flower bed photos; they are amazing, especially your yellow roses. I love flower beds but have never been too good with them.
