I've done a lot of experimenting with alcohol and my IBS-C, the bad news I'm afraid is that I really don't drink much anymore because NOTHING in the world is worth the IBS-C symptoms for 2 weeks afterwards (same as you).
Peas don't thrive in hot weather; they grow best in spring and summer when daytime temperatures average between 60 to 75 degrees. When selecting a seed, look at the varieties' days to maturity and plant early enough so that harvest will be complete before daytime temperatures consistently hit 80 degrees.
HI Patty, It takes 50 to 75 days to bloom. We're not sure where you're from but the trick to sweet peas is to plant well before the heat comes: October or November for milder winter areas and late April in cold winter areas. They need about 50 days of cool temperatures (under 60Âº F) to bloom. Harden seedlings off for at least a week, and then set them out into the garden as soon as the soil can be worked. 2  If you garden in mild winter climates (Zones 8, 9, or 10), plant sweet peas in the late fall so they can develop and bloom in late winter and early spring.
