There is nothing better at the end of tiring day than sitting with a cup of tea at my kitchen table whilst 'chatting with friends' and enjoying the beautiful fragrance of my sweet peas
I am cutting them tomorrow David, most of them have come out yesterday/today, I cut a load on Saturday, couldn't throw them in the compost heap, I'll just fill the house with sweet peas

After all the hard work, we don't want them going to seed.
I took loads to an old people's home today......according to the staff, the smell brings back childhood memories.
Gosh, that's loads David. None have gone to seed, I've checked don't worry (I've been taught well ) I will go out first thing and pick some and give some to my neighbours if I need to
OL - I see the stems are nice, long & straight......just to prepare you, as the season progresses the stems will shorten substantially, so have some egg cups standing by.

I had 5 or 6 vases of them most of last summer and still gave loads to mum and dad and friends, 4 flowers out one, they smell amazing!
This is one day's cutting from another year......so you see why I need to dispose of them.
