I too was looking forward to Sweet Peas for the 1st time this year, finally. However, I live in southern Nevada where the summer temp. get up to 115 degrees at times. This is something I felt I can get around if I just kept trying. So this year I also started my sweet peas from seed inside early. Feb 14. I knew I would need to get them in the ground as soon as possible to beat the summer high temp. I planted them too early into the ground so I could give them that growing time they needed. It's May 22 and it's gotten to 100 degrees at least 3 days already. Above 90 degrees more days than I can count already. Remember,
this is only May 22. The sweet peas are 3 feet tall and smell beautiful, all 6 flowers that set before it got too hot to grow anymore, until fall. This is as far as I have ever gotten with them. If I can keep them alive during the summer, shade them, make sure I tend the water balance. As everywhere that balance is important, but here, 1/2 day can turn anything into crispy, dead stems. But at least I finally got to smell the wonderful scent from 6 flowers and look forward to more in the fall. But it is going to be a really long summer. Good luck to you.
