@Obelixx I think the idea of snipping off sweet pea tendrils is to stop them getting tangled up with the stems and distorting them. If you grow sweet peas for cutting there's nothing more frustrating than finding them bent all over the place.
I still record on my VHS recorder. I see no reason to stop using it just because folk think I should jump on the endless , expensive , bandwagons of sky, netflix , amazon prime etc etc. The can laugh all they like at my VHS and I'll laugh at them as they spend money hand over fist, I'll keep my VHS until it dies
I'm surprised you can get VHS tapes!! Surely you can't be re-recording over them, they must have degraded by now!!

I am indeed recording over the same old tapes, some must be pushing 20 years old. I record stuff,watch it, rewind it and record something else, I never keep anything on there . When the on ein the machine packs up, I've got dozens more to take its place.
People growing sweet peas for exhibition or for serious cut flowers (as opposed to me just popping a few in a jug) will always remove tendrils to stop them hooking around the flower stems and bending them.

"If you have been growing tomatoes along with Monty, he shows what you should be doing now that they have been planted out and gives advice on the summer maintenance of ponds.
Nick Bailey travels to South Africa, where he searches for the wild cousins of one of the most vibrant of summer flowers, the crocosmia, and garden historian Advolly Richmond goes to Alton Towers to take a close look at the Victorian trend of creating theme parks in their gardens. There’s a second chance to meet a couple in Staffordshire who are very particular about the colours of the plants they use in the borders of their cottage garden, and last year we travelled to Kent to meet a gardener who filled her garden with pots filled with vibrant colour.

"At Longmeadow, Monty refreshes a container of overgrown herbs, plants alpines in a pot and revisits the shrub and perennial cuttings he took a few weeks ago.
Arit Anderson travels to Kent to meet a designer who is placing sustainability and the environment at the heart of the gardens she designs, and the team discover a garden in Dorset that has been laid out specifically with scent in mind.
There is a look back to 2019 as Frances Tophill visits an allotment on the Isle of Man, meeting a grower who uses plants to make cosmetics, and on the Isle of Wight, there is a second chance to meet an enthusiast who has filled his garden with daylilies.

I do have soluble aspirin for bigger vases and also for cuttings in water.
