    Your say, have a look at what you clicked on - yes that is one of David's photographs which he has also posted (under his name) on another forum - that's why it's already on the net!!! 

    And David has posted many many pictures of his sweet peas growing on this and on other sites and he is well known amongst sweet pea growers and show goers.

     Doh!! honestly!!! Look before you leap or you'll end up looking a complete plonker image

    oh gosh so sorry if i've caused a fuss...tracey and david are both right.. sorry for my lack of capitals punctuation i have a feeding baby in my arms, i usually get v huffy about that but hard with one free hand... anyway, yes i was originally going to do an experiment half sown in seed compost half in general purpose, then,surprise surprise, didn't get round to it and used all seed, then yes david you're right, i did top up as worried i'd not given enough depth then worried i'd messed up whole thing as used general purpose! anyway thankyou all for your help and feedback,tracey you baby brain can't be as bad as mine, i appreciate all your comments and am very sorry if i've caused confusion

    Louise, you haven't caused a fuss at all so don't worry image I wish my 15 year old was a baby again, so much easier image And don't worry about your typing, I don't normally comment on that but sometimes when WUMs start picking needs must, I hope I didn't offend you x

  • Louise, be assured you have been no problem at all.  image

  • 'your say', I've found that ignoring trouble makers is the wisest option. However, in your case I need to make an exception.

    You either substantiate your earlier accusation about my ownership of the sweet pea picture I posted, or apologise.......otherwise I will need to consider my options.

    David - we all know you don't have to prove anything to anyone. image

    Sad when people want to stir, isn't it?

    Do you grow different varieties each year or do you stick with favourites? I grew Cathy last year - a cream with lovely scent, but was a little disappointed with the colour sometimes- it was a bit 'muddy'. Is there a white or cream variety you can recommend?

    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
