I have a screen between two 6 foot posts, with a 'box' at each end @Janie B, and they were planted in those to grow up the apple trees after they had finished. I got fed up trying to coax them where I wanted them! They were a bit feral You're a wee bit higher altitude than me @Lyn, but we probably have more frosts/snow, so on balance, it's not too dissimilar. It's surprising how well sweet peas and other hardy annuals cope though. I can have that type of plant still going in early November if we haven't had any persistent frost/snow. I don't think sweet peas cope as well with hot, sunny conditions as they're meant to either.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
@pitter-patter I have just bought mine inside, to a cool, east facing window-sill. One, still outside in a pot, seems to have given up the ghost and another, planted in good ground, is alive but going nowhere. Perhaps that last is not enough in full sun. Sigh.
I don't think Monty has featured his since planting. There's only a few episodes left this year, I think. I hope we get to see how his faired.
