The video provides a step-by-step guide on how to grow sweet peas, starting from purchasing seeds available at garden stores. The seeds require soaking overnight to soften their hard coating. A shallow container with damp paper towel is used for this process. The next day, the seeds are ready for planting. A seed tray is filled with compost and watered before placing the seeds on top, ensuring they are covered with a thin layer of compost. It's important to plant extra seeds to account for any that may not germinate. Over the next week, the seeds will germinate, and as they grow, pinching out the tips encourages side shoots for healthier plants. After 10-15 cm of growth, sweet peas are transplanted outside, needing plenty of sunlight and moisture. A supporting structure, like a wigwam made from canes, is set up to support their growth. Regular watering and additional support are provided as the plants grow taller. After about 10 weeks, beautiful flowers bloom, adding a lovely fragrance to the garden. The video concludes by inviting viewers to the website for more gardening information.
