sweetpeas

	I think that Bob is right about why the annual European sweetpeas
(lathyrus) aren't so popular in the US--the hot muggy summers.  A few
summers ago, I tried three varieties of the fragrant annual climbing
sweetpeas from centuries back in Sicily, figuring they could take more heat
than the English garden hybrids.  I did get a few blooms (wonderfully
fragrant) but, alas, Sicily has heat but not Midwestern US humidity... so
they didn't last long at all.
