Growing them by the cordon method (no need top bother yourself with that at the mo) you do remove all tendrils and compensate by tying them in by hand.
Yours need to retain some tendrils to enable them to climb, so best remove those in the vicinity & about to entwine your flower stems.
Bought a 10 pack of seeds from Eagles at HC this week - didn't realise they were the bees knees
Any tips on how to tackle a greenfly infestation on sweetpea flowers?? I have moved one of the bird feeders over in the hope that the bluetits will find them, but there are a lot there
I unashamedly use 'Bug Clear', chicky.....it's systemic and remains effective for six weeks. It's about as environmentally as you can get, if you follow the instructions to the letter.

My first EagLe Sweet Pea flower, I think it's Banty.
I understand...... just being mischievous again.
Just switched on the vacuum cleaner.... dead as a do-do, checked the fuse, nothing wrong there....shall I be happy or sad?
Btw, I'm not 90 either.
Who has said you are 90 David.....I'll batter them with my bendy sweet peas
Now that's class! Just look at the long, strong stem on the left.
These ones are going to my 'show' Sweet peas Dabid, I'm going to look after them very carefully......no shabby chic for these babies
Ha ha David, my show only, nowhere near good enough for anything else!
I need some advice on the tendril thing, do I cut them all off or just the ones that are wrapping around flower stems?
