Here’s what you should do if you decide to grow sweet peas in your greenhouse. Place the vertical strands about 4 inches apart. They are slip-knotted to the top wire, one turn around the 16″ and 10″ wires. You need to pull them tight enough and tie them with a slipknot to the bottom wire.
How to properly tie in a greenhouse
It is best to tie a few strings near the center first and work toward the ends. This will tend to keep all the strings fairly tight. But it may be found necessary to go back and tighten some of them.
Unfasten the three lower wires between the crops and their lanyards at one end. And carefully fold and tie the ik to the vertical support at the other end. The strings usually last two seasons. Divide them into about four groups after unfastening them from the bottom three wires, gather the bottom halves of each group together. You need to tie them in a loose knot and let them hang from the top wire until they are needed again.
Most seed catalogues list a class of sweet pea referred to as Early Flowering. And the description generally states that these varieties “are valuable for winter flowering under glass” or that they are “popular as home greenhouse subjects,” to quote two.
This is the variety I grow in my greenhouse, and the following six varieties I have used lately: Joseph, pink salmon; Red man; Crimson; Christmas triumph, pink and white; Kate Smith, scarlet; White giant, white; Tahoe blue.
