Agrotechnics.
In Estonia, sweet pea seeds ripen in early September. Seed formation inhibits flowering, so it is better to leave 1-2 plants specifically for breeding, without cutting off the flower stalks from them.
The seeds are rather large, with a hard shell. Before planting, soak them in warm (+ 60 ° C) water and germinate in a humid environment. You can specially carefully cut the shell for quick germination.
Since flowering occurs 2-3 months after germination, plant the seeds in late March - early April in peat pots with a nutritious earthen mixture, one or two or three seeds per hole. For better branching, pinch young plants over the third leaf. The growing period for seedlings lasts about 40 days. In open ground, peas can be planted already in the first decade of May with a distance of 20-25 cm between plants.
The root system of sweet peas is sensitive to damage, and growth does not begin until two weeks later. Therefore, it is better to plant plants with a clod of earth. Sprouted seeds can be planted in the ground in early May, but flowering in this case will come two weeks later. For the most spectacular inflorescences, leave 1-2 of the strongest stems on the plant, and remove the rest.
Pinch the side shoots and part of the antennae regularly so that the plant wastes nutrients to form buds.
Sweet peas are fed twice: the first feeding is carried out at the beginning of the growth of the stems with complex organo-mineral fertilizer, the second - when buds appear, with phosphorus-potassium fertilizer.
