LATE OR 
SUMMER SWEET PEAS 
In our latitude, or where hot summers are not relieved by cool nights, 
summer peas are usually destroyed by mid-July. For this reason a Spring 
sowing usually gets in too late to be profitable. For 25 consecutive years, we 
have grown a profitable crop outdoors by sowing the seed indoors not later 
than February 1, growing into 3 inch pot plants and planting out around 
mid-April. We protect them against freezes and heavy frosts after this date 
with a V-shaped protection made by nailing two 6 inch cypress boards to- 
gether. With all the overhead water they will stand and 5 foot high wire and 
string supports, we have them in crop by June 15th. Two weeks of heavy June 
picking assures us a nice profit for the greenhouse crops are usually thru at 
that time and the demand for peas is active until the Ist day of July. But 
this outdoor crop must be sprayed weekly for aphis until they get in flower. 
Most failures with this crop are due to not watching this point. 
Another use for this class is planting a few with late or after mum planted 
earlies. The early class will climb straight up while this late flowering class 
will break freely from about the base not getting up to interfere with the 
earlies until this class is weakening or exhausted. This combination will 
double the number of flowers but it will of course hold up the bed nearly a 
month longer. All our sweet pea seed, both early and late, is treated with 
copper oxide, also known as Cuprocide. Thru repeated experiments we know 
that this treatment destroys rot that might otherwise destroy the seed.
