[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  I’m in dc and produce a decent amount of compost each season but have never tried manure. I adore sweet peas and am willing to try! Do I buy it at a farmers market? Thank you for these wonderful ideas![/quote]
I’m the sweet pea suggestion and I grow them in zone 4B. They need to be started well ahead of when you guess as they can take temps down to 25 degrees without freezing, so I start them cool (alongside my patio door) in March (some places can plant them outside in the fall but I know DC gets down to zero sometimes). I presprout on a wet paper towel in a plastic bag and only plant those that sprout. [i]They must be grown cool [/i] and with fairly bright light or they will get leggy and you’ll get nothing. Transplant out when it’s still cool.

Or maybe someone sells them at farmers market? I haven’t lived in DC in years and didn’t ever have a garden there anyway.

Floret’s sweet peas never work out for me. Ardelia Farms have been better, as have Swallowtail. [/quote]
