ok i'm sorry i'm quite nerdy about these things but sweet pea famously (in flower nerd circles) have never been able to be grown with yellow flowers. just saying, sorry :P

@cwaj the best way to sow sweet peas are, use soil based compost ie JI#1 without

fertilizer In a seed tray put !inch of compost quaurter inch Vermiculite water and spread

seeds on topand press down with piece of wood cover with glass and keep light out.

After 4 or 5 days you will find shoots appearing cover with same compost and leave them till they have 3 seaves on and then prick them out into 5inch pots 6 to apot or

into 3inch pots 3 to a pot Garddigger.

Great video

Great video. I'm a little bit surprised to hear that sweet pea seeds are poisonous but then erythrina crist-galli and laburnum seeds are poisonous as well.

[NWforager]

a bit confused . how do sweet peas differ from 'sweet peas' ? is the seed not the pea itself ? what is the genus name from the edible 'sweet pea ?

[AlbertaAllan]

The genus name for the edible pea is Pisum. I can see the entry for Lathyrus on p.433 of the Sunset Western Garden book says that the seeds contain toxic amino acids

[NWforager]

I see. so the pods She is holding here are Pisum , and the flowers shown are Lathyrus Odoratus . I'd likely go the edible strain over poison . Thank you Allan

[baldgitfromhull]

Easy to understand and less complicated as other instructions
