RE: Sweetpeas

I've never done anything particular- I have some growing right now- they are
about 8 inches tall, but should take off when it get a bit warmer.  But then
they will croak by May from the heat.  Anyway- I soak mine before planting,
and then just pop them in the ground- no particular soil- just whatever
happens to be there.  The current batch is in horrible clay.  They don't
seem to care.

Hi gardeners:

I've tried raising sweetpeas but have never had great success.  Do they need
special soil?  I know they like the cooler weather.  My sister has had great
sweetpeas and I only live a few miles from her.  I wonder what I'm doing
wrong?  Perhaps not enough water?  Just purchased some blue colors as I'm
into blue colors in the garden this year.  I'm determined to keep trying
until I succeed.  The sun gets pretty hot here on the Mountain were we live
and not much shade.  Any suggests would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
