Staking Sweet Peas

Select an area with full sun to partial shade. Prepare well-draining soil to a depth of at least 1 foot, adding plenty of rich compost or aged manure. Sweet pea vines reach 6 feet tall, so staking is a must. Almost any vertical support works; we used branches from just-pruned trees and shrubs.
