Sweet Peas Should Be Planted In October
W N Floyd professor of horticulture at the College of Agriculture advises planting sweet peas early in October to secure January blooms. Winter flowering Spencer varieties can be planted until November but perform best with October sowing. Seeds sown three to four inches deep in trenches two inches apart will emerge as the soil is firmed around them.

Sweet Peas Require Rich Soil and Regular Watering
Professor Floyd advises preparing soil with abundant organic matter and using about one pound of commercial fertilizer per square yard. Choose heavier soils when possible. Thin seedlings to four inches apart as they reach two to three inches in height. A light poultry wire trellis supports the vines. Water at least weekly in dry weather, and control red spiders with sulfur dust and lice with tobacco extract.
