          <description><![CDATA[Sweet peas are an excellent cool-season annual for Louisiana. The flowers are popular for cutting and bundling because they come in an array of colors and have an intoxicating scent.

Sweet peas start blooming in late March and last up to two months, longer if deadheaded regularly. - Full Content set to .]]></description>

Once rusting and pitting occur, the rod will destroy the cylinder seal the next time it is activated. - Full Content set to .]]></description>
