Christine 007 That was the first time I did Autumn sowing, normally I just sow them in spring but I made a coldframe so they had somewhere to go in Autumn

So if i get a cold frame i coudl do this in Autumn? Where does the cold frame have to be in south facing or anywhere? xx
Yes think you could sow them in Autumn it will make the flowers come out earlier than spring flowering ones, I used deep root trainers - block of pots that open with no root disturbance like little books
we have a south facing garden and my cold frame faces east

I sowed last autumn for first time, thanks to David's advice, sowed indoors, when germinated put outside in plastic greenhouse with broken zip, East facing garden, East facing wall, though fairly sheltered, planted out 3 weeks ago, all looking nice and string

I live in Scotland if i put them out in Autumn, come our hectic winters, dont thikn they will live. You in UK?
hi christine, yes, but oop North, I didn't think mine would survive ... but they did and I pretty much left them to it ( 2 small children allow me litttle time to attend as I would like to my plants and garden!)
Hi Baz, mine have been out 3 Weeks, think I was a little early but they were healthy looking plants. I'm in East Anglia so weathers not too bad. My sweetpeas went into shock a bit and did nothing for a couple of weeks, they have just started to grow and climb now I'm impatient too, hence putting them in too early!

Water regularly and wait!
Mine are about to flower anyday I think and have grown ever such a lot in the last few days of very warm sunshine and showers at night.
