Should I thin these Sweetpeas out a bit?

    I don’t think so now, they’re a bit big to move, but if you give them a feed every week, tomato food or miracle grow they should be ok.  You could give half strength feed twice a week. 
    They will need watering quite a lot, sometimes twice a day in the hot weather, it looks like a clay pot and they dry out quicker.

    Yeah I’ve been giving them a good soak every night. I’m praying for their survival this week as I have to go away for 4 days and the weather is to be dry.

    You could stand the pot in a container of water, just enough for a few waterings.
    also put it in the shade.

    I’m going to have to see will my neighbour water it I think. There’s no moving it solo, and my better half is pregnant so can’t help.
