Sweet peas: Do you like to nick the seed coat or soak?
Comments (14)Here's a photo I took today of my sweet pea 'High Scent' seedlings. They are almost too tall for the milk jugs now. Hoping to plant them out soon...still constructing a "ground-hog free" area for them. We managed to find an old iron garden fence to construct a ground-hog barrier with. Hopefully the sweet peas will grow through and around the openings in the fence...may need to add some string for them to climb on? ellenr, I don't really know how tall sugar snap peas will grow, but that's great you are growing an edible pea...I have yet to grow anything edible in my current garden due to the groundhogs (sigh). I heard they will even eat ornamental sweet peas like the ones I'm growing, even though humans are not supposed to eat them. Found an article about the sugar snap peas online (see link). Seems like there are different kinds of sugar snaps...some get to be 6 feet, but some are a bush variety. Here is a link that might be useful: Growing Sugar Snap Peas - Tips on How to Grow Sugar Snap Peas...See MoreTea (or sweet) Olive Trees in CENTRAL Texas?
Comments (3)I have a sweet olive tree growing in less than ideal conditions in San Antonio. It is planted in heavy clay soil under the eaves next to the foundation, gets a little sun off and on, water from the roof runoff and still manages to bloom all winter. I'd say it is an easy plant to grow. However, the scent while strong doesn't seems to waft as much as some other plants, but my smeller isn't that great. What does waft for me is Kidneywood tree, a Texas native that is seldom without flowers all summer. The bees and butterflies love it. I see it growing wild along Huebner Rd. in San Antonio. Every yard in central Texas should have one. Also I enjoy the Winter honeysuckle which is a beautiful bright green arching shrub if it gets a reasonable amount of water. Without much water it still lives and keeps most of its leaves all winter. Mine is about four feet tall and 6 ft wide. Of course highly recommended for scent is the evergreen Star jasmine which has a long spring blooming period and wafts big time. Night blooming jasmine is another good one that blooms all summer, but you have to stay up late to smell it as the fragrance starts wafting at about 10 or 10:30 pm. Sometimes I bring a branch into the house to enjoy indoors. Not always winter hardy I keep it in a big pot and wheel it into the green house in the winter. Also I enjoy the wafting scent of the blossoms of the tall Ligustrum hedge along the back fence. It blooms late spring, early summer. These are some of my favorite things for scent. Happy smelling :-)...See MoreOn The Other Hand, Odd Smells That You Like
Comments (61)I love the smell of scotch tape. It reminds me of X-mas when I was a kid. I love, love, love the smell of musty basements. I like cigars smell while being smoked or maybe its a pipe being smoked. It's been a long time, I can't remember whiich one it is. I like the smell of grass that has just been cut. I also like the smell of my dogs feet. It reminds me of fritos or something. I like the smell of new books or magazines too. I can't think of any more right now....See MoreSweet Tea or Iced Tea??
Comments (37)Susan, most restaurants in Virginia have both sweet and unsweetened iced tea, so I guess we are the dividing line on the East Coast. North of here is almost always unsweetened, and I know NC is almost a purely sweet-tea state. Personally, I prefer unsweetened with lemon. And I don't add sweetner of any kind, which means it has to be really fresh. As an aside, I have a friend who travelled to Ohio recently. She stopped at a fast food drive through and asked for a "sweet tea". They gave her "Hi-C". When my sister brought this mistake to the clerk's attention, she apologized, but said she had never heard it called "sweet tea" before....See Moremarkinspringborooh
