$2.39

Little Sweetheart is not your ordinary vining, climbing sweet pea. A key element in successful growing of the Sweet Pea Pastel Sunset is very early planting. The sweet pea prefers deep, rich, fertile soil. In warm climates, plant in October through January for spring bloom. Use lots of peat or compost for early spring planting. Plant this Sweet Pea in full sun, but in a cool a spot as possible. They are charming in patio pots, window boxes and in borders. In cold climates plant the seed in early spring, as soon as the soil can be worked. Try this plant in your hanging baskets and other containers. Position them away from winds and rotate locations from year to year to prevent sweet pea pests. The Sweet Pea Little Sweetheart, 'Lathyrus odoratus', is a very dwarf, bushy type with many small flowers close to the foliage. This plant is a dome of foliage with profuse, small flowers of pink, white, rose, lilac and blue. ... additional info

Carrot - Danvers 126 The Carrot Danvers 126, 'Daucus carota var. sativus', is excellent in heavy soils. In addition to the nice flavor, it is resistant to cracks and splits. The Danvers 126 worked wonderfully when interplanted with onions and worked particularly well in the heavy soils because of it's higher fiber content. The tops are very strong, thus making harvesting easy. The first sowing should be 2 to 4 weeks before the last frost. Successive planting every 3 weeks until 70 days before the first fall frost extends the production season. In very warm climates carrots are grown primarily in the fall. The single most important factor in growing carrots is to have a deep, clod and rock free, well drained soil. A 50% peat moss mix with the soil is ideal.
