With their pink, blue, and purple hues, blousy petals, and heady fragrance, sweet peas are a favorite among plenty of gardeners, but they do require a little maintenance at this time of year.
Most gardeners start sweet pea seeds indoors in fall to give them a head start and encourage stronger root systems. This means there's much to do by the time April arrives. This includes pinching out seedlings to help them produce better blooms, hardening them off, and transplanting them. You'll want to make sure your sweet peas have climbing supports in place, too (like this metal obelisk from Wayfair.)
