How I Pinch & Fertilize My Sweet Pea Seedlings (+ Assembling Obelisks For Them to Grow On! harrygatto: Good advice. However, if I'm planting out sweet peas in front of a trellis or similar, I plant a double row, one row close to the canes and one row slightly further out. I then pinch out the tops of the row closest to the canes and leave the others. This way I get longer plants in one row to give me height and shorter, bushier plants in the other row to fill in the middle and lower levels.
Alternatively plant a single row fairly close together and pinch out every other plant for the same effect.

I got one of those obelisks last year but was at a loss for what to plant on it. It was beautiful in my garden just bare. It did turn that lovely gray color over winter which I just love. I think I'll put regular peas on it this spring. Your garden zone confuses me, I thought you were zone 5. I think you get much colder than us but our zone 6a last frost is the last 10 days of May. Or perhaps sweet peas can be transplanted before the last frost date? never grew them.

Hi, I just watched and this was really helpful. I appreciate your clear explanations and demonstrations! I was wondering if you did a video of the obelisks with the sweat peas growing up them. If so, do you mind sharing the link here? I'm super curious to see them but couldn't find them when I looked. Thanks! And, I look forward to watching more of your great videos.

First off we love you down in Atlanta! My gf and I watch you every night; our little routine. My question is in regards to your clippings; I know I see you guys clean up so much clippings and debris, just curious if you compost on your property? Does your local waste manager pick up composting material for community compost/garden?
See you tomorrow! -Tom

The obelisk stands are very nice, but gosh - $200 each? I get its cedar, but you could easily make these for about $30 each. I have some plant supports Ive made of pine that I painted with just primer that are going on 10 years - and thats in the hot dry Southern Calif. sun. Even the un-painted ones have lasted for years.

Leave natural for some years, stain later if you want a different look. you wont be able to get the aged natural look again. and that IS beautiful. youve got plenty of other projects you could be spending time on. plus it would make a nice video to show the progression of the graying patina of the Wood

Hi Laura. Just wondering if the tendrils will be able to wrap around the diameter of the obelisk rails. I just installed a new trellis and waiting for two gorgeous clematis plants to arrive. Wondering if I need to cover the trellis with trellis netting so they can twine and climb easier. Thanks!

I just started my sweet peas; I am a novice and I bought one of those trays with the lid. the sweet peas now are higher than the lid. do I just take the lid off and let them grow in front of the window orders or is there a real need for the lid to stay on? Please help

Can you you clarify about the Espoma Start fertilizer, is the mixing instruction the bottle says already a reduced strength for seedlings, or do you mix at half the rate it says? (Instead of 2-3 douses per gallon should it be 1-1. 5? Im so confused
