#27 Planting Sweet Peas - Heirloom Leaves and Seeds -

[@CiaofCleburne]

I am growing sweet peas for the first time this year and I’ve learned patience is key. I soaked my seeds for around 36 hours, then placed them directly into the soil in a prepared bed. I watched and waited and finally, when the temp and water levels were just right, they started emerging. I really think my fairy magic had a small hand in this because nothing happened until spruced up her fairy house just a little, and then wham! They started waking up. 😂❤

Sweet peas do need a few extra steps to grow & patience is definitely key, but they are worth the extra effort. 😊 I find that most of the time the seeds know just the right time to germinate. A little sprucing up never hurts! 🌱❤️☀️

Hello, thanks for all your videos! I am new to planting flowers and am enjoying learning. I also appreciate you looking into how materials will break down in the soil. I try to live an organic and sustainable lifestyle and its important to me to not put microplastics into the soil. Thanks again!

I also enjoy learning and in the gardening world there is so much to learn. 🌱 I have been growing organically for 10 plus years now and I love to see the resulting plant and animal diversity. This is my second year growing flowers & I am starting to focus on regenerative gardening and on reducing plastic use. ☀️

Do your cats bother the chickens? we have new ones that are now ready to be outside but worried about our cats.

Luckily our cats do not bother our chickens. They usually just lay around and watch the chickens scratch around or ignore them. I think carefully and slowly introducing the cats to the chickens work best. I would especially be careful with any small bantams. 😊
