When to Plant Morning Glory and Sweet Pea Seeds

16 years ago

I was given some Grandpa Ott morning glory seeds and some sweet pea (flower) seeds. I would like to know what month I should plant these. Is it too late now?

I have both growing now. My sweet peas are already blooming and MG are really close. Sweet peas are my birth flower (April) according to the farmers almanac, April 1st is the day to sow sweet peas. So I do. Some I start inside and when they are ready to plant out I put a few packs of seeds in with the seedlings. By this time it's hard to tell which ones were started inside and which ones were direct sown.

I do the morning glories the same time and the same way. I have never tried to sow them this late but I suppose you could. The bunnies got to my MG's so I posted here as to what to do and Trudi said to start some new ones to enjoy later in the season when the bunnies aren't so hungry. I didn't but the ones that have survived are ready to bloom. With this warm weather they should germinate quickly. I'd say try it, if it works you know you can do them late, if it doesn't try sowing early spring.

Here are my sweetpeas

Here is the sad update. My little test plant (which I now know I planted too soon) bent it's two little leaves to the ground and never recovered. So the rest, in the egg carton kept growing. I waited for 2 sets of leaves to appear, and THEN I put them in the ground. They now have more leaves and are obviously happy and growing. Except... There were two late "hatchers", and I let them wait. But outside. I wanted to acclimate them to the night air. HUGE mistake! I am a triple murderer now!! Those two egg shell babies, nestled in the egg carton were sitting on the edge of the jacuzzi, where there is sun in the day! Last night as I slept, a big wind came up... I woke up thinking I would go give them a drink, and they were no place to be found... Until I glanced in the jacuzzi! OMG!! The shells were broken, the egg carton was floating upside down, and I murdered two precious little seedlings!! Lesson learned!!

Thank you Caryl that makes me feel better. I went and double checked and I didn't put out my morning glories after all! I made up the cups with labels and drainage holes but never did put them outside. I think I'm just going to wait until the end of April beginning of May so that I get my morning glories for sure this year. The sweet peas are pretty hardy so I'm just not going to stress over them, and everything else is perennial or a reseeder so I think I'm good. What would a year of winter sowing be without a little panic, right? ;) Thanks for your reply!

I planted moon flower seed about three weeks ago and some of them came up grew to about two inches high and turned brown and died before i got a chance to plant them in the ground. the other seeds did not grow at all. what did i do wrong i soaked them and nicked them kept them in the house in the little greenhouse you get from walmart and took the cover off when the leaves touched the top. Should I check the seeds that didn't grow for rot or should I just leave them alone. I think i need to start over with new seeds if i do should i do anything different? I started morning glorys at the same time and they seem to be small and only half of those came up. I live in zone six in CT i don't know if that makes any difference.

Anytime from now until early may will work. By July the temperatures get too high and many varieties of peas start to die off, and you should give 60 to 70 days from planting to expected harvest. The next few weeks is ideal for planting peas, lettuce, radishes, and other cold tolerant vegetables.
