Sweet peas not blooming

18 years ago

I started sweet peas in March on a south facing window and got about 40 plants. Gave half to a friend and kept half. Hers are in the ground (very rich soil and mulch) and mine are in pots on the deck (good quality potting soil). The foliage on both is very lush - tall and thick and green - but not a bloom in sight. We both got a few blooms up until the end of July. We've had a fairly rainy summer but still there's been some sun. The last two weeks of July were very humid and that's when they stopped blooming altogether. We're at a loss to understand what's wrong. I noticed the previous poster mentioned a lack of nitrogen possibly keeping her cosmos from blooming. Never thought of that. Anybody have any ideas?
