Sweet Pea - Miss Willmott
The Sweet Pea Miss Willmott, 'Lathyrus odoratus', is a very old sweet pea traced back to 1901 and is named after the famous garden writer, Miss Willmott. Miss Willmott's deep orange-pink color will add delight to any garden. It is a summer bloomer and in areas without long, cool springs, this excellent variety will continue to bloom as the temperatures begin to increase. The Miss Willmott Sweet Pea displays 2 inches blooms that are a deep orange-pink. They bloom from spring to summer. The Miss Willmott prefers deep, rich, fertile soil. 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. Position them away from winds and rotate locations from year to year to prevent sweet pea pests. In cold climates plant the seed in early spring, as soon as the soil can be worked. In warm climates, plant in October through January for spring bloom. ... details
Corn - Honey & Cream The Corn Honey & Cream, 'Zea mays var rugosa', is excellent for small gardens and short growing seasons. If we had to choose two vegetables that were much better home grown than bought from a store, corn and tomatoes would be our choice. The plant has 6 to 7 inch ears with 10 to 12 rows of very tender kernels. It is great fresh and Honey and Cream can be canned or frozen. In the deep south, this can be as early as February.
