    Finally, this week, mine started to flower. I'm so relieved. I thought they'd never work out for me. Bit disappointed that they're almost all white. I'll try a different supplier next year I think!

    Today's pickings......

     And my sweet peas after the picking and a little trim.....I quite like the 'shabby chic' look but have found they are very friendly and are wrapping themselves around the other plants so have had to trim them slightly image

     These are my 'Eagle' sweet peas, not very big or flowering yet but sown quite late.

     They have 12' canes so won't be quite so shabby chic image

  • Wow ! ! How we've moved on from those pampered, garage  babies. image

    I'm sure I can retire now. image

    Great photos.  We need smell-o-net!

    Mine are flowering now and I'm cutting twice-weekly for the office.  I usually put some runner beans and nasturtiums in there too.  Definitely going to sow some in the autumn to get them better-established for next year.
