I always grow many sweet peas but, in view of the move to a shadier place, I have been looking at the local plantlife and pondering other peas. The meadows next to us are stiff with tufted vetch (vicia crassa), bird's foot treefoil (lotus corniculatus) and horshoe vetch (hippocrepis something) while lathyrus vernus is in the shadier woods. Obviously, I got on the interweb with a hot paypal button and ordered several packets of seed - L.niger, L.pratensis, L.sylvestris, L.aureus(really lovely) L.venetus, a few more varieties of L.vernus, L.rotundifolius and even a few annuals (L.sativa, L,tingitanus).
Of course, seeds are cheap....but sowing space is still at a premium. Anyone else growing peas with helpful suggestions regarding shade/sun, floral impact, pretty leafage and most important, ease of growing?
