I grow sweet peas wherever I live. I am now in Victoria, BC, Canada. I am thrilled to have picked my first bouquet today, and more are blooming to follow. There are lots of flowers coming, and they are growing higher. They are my every year favourites!
I am a bit concerned about keeping the roots cool, as there is not much shade where they are growing against the house, and some bottom leaves are turning yellow. Is this yellow caused by dryness or heat or what else could it be?
I don't want them to die back, as they are doing so well, and I love them. I am planning to add mulch, and maybe more soil asap.
What do you suggest so that the yellow leaves don't get any worse?
Thank you.
