Heaven "Scent"

I have always wanted to grow sweet peas.  I have been told time and again how heavenly their scent is.  I have tried to grow sweet peas for several years, and each time I've tried, I've failed.  I don't like to fail.  I can grow anything, so why not a silly sweet pea?  And the one year I came close to success?  The dogs dug them up!

After the dog incident, I was ready to throw in the towel.  "Who cares how glorious their fragrance is," I thought to myself. "They have ugly foliage!"  But this spring, I decided to try one last time.  This year was going to be the year...sink or swim, baby, do or die!  I decided to go for broke and planted every sweet pea seed I had ever purchased.  Why not?  It was now...or never again!  And guess what?  I got sweet peas!  And guess what else?  Their fragrance was worth the wait...ABSOLUTELY DIVINE!
