But will you tell us a bit about sweet peas, your tips and, and thoughts on them?

Bailey HaleGUEST
So when we were farming in Vermont, we were, like I said, up in northeastern Vermont, which is the coldest part of an already relatively cold state.

Bailey HaleGUEST
But we tended to have really cool summers, and we could drop into the 40s most nights in the summertime.

Bailey HaleGUEST
So my first year I just planted a few in the corner of our brand new NRCS high tunnel and didn't really think much about them, but then I looked over in October and they were still flowering.

Bailey HaleGUEST
I was like, "I think this is unusual." You know, when I worked as a floral designer, I would love to get sweet peas when I could, but it was such a short season or specific season.
