here is my sweet pea. i love sweetpeas. really and truly love them. i got married in october and if i could have, i'd've had a bouquet full of sweet peas. but, sweetpeas don't so much bloom then. so my mom, in ohio, fostered a sweetpea plant and brought a wee plant with two blossoms that were tucked into my beautiful bouquet. so see, i do love them.
pat and bob would bring me some of their amazing sweet smelling sweet peas. it would make me so happy to have all those beautiful bright blossoms with their wonderful and intoxicating scent.for the past 2 years, i've valiantly tried to grow sweetpeas in our back yard. one year they did nothing. just plain nothing. last year i started them inside - then took them out too soon. i got some vining, but no flowers. so i brought the vines inside (i had them in a pot) where they've been continuing to vine all winter. and now - we have the true possibility of blossoms!!! i'm so concited (as rhys used to say but sadly doesn't say anymore). i'll keep you apprised.
the other lovely spring-ish thing happening next to our sliding glass door is that the fuchsia is very happy and the brown sticks have now got lots of greenery!
we were supposed to have a booth sale today for the girl scout cookies - but the weather is awful and there is no overhang at our local chili's, so we begged off today, so it's extra nice to have some spring among all the drab, cold, and ick.

Here's to the possibility of blooms!!! Literally and figuratively. *applause* or sweet peas. You rock.
I have a lot of perennial sweet pea in my garden. GADS of it. So if you want to dig some up and bring it home with you, it's all yours. Be forewarned, once you have it, you probably have it for life.
