hi all, david, my sweet peas are looking ok but i haven't tied them into their supports or anything yet, i'm worried they may be too far away from canes-3or 4 inches,is this too far? should i tie them in?
I watched the first Allotment Challenge the other day and wondered if you had watched it David, what did you think of the Sweet Peas and the advice? I didn't see it right to the end though so no-one tell me who goes
Just sown my first sweet peas. Soaked the seeds overnight (read that somewhere) and put them in fibre pots with coir pellets in the base (worried about soli quality when I plant out). what im worried about is them getting too hot/dry. They are in a cool-ish store room with a window and i plan to set them in the afternoon sun daily. they are well watered. Any tips?
Hello, Emma. I have a fair grasp of growing sweet peas here in the UK, but in the absence of any knowledge of your climate, I'm not sure what advice to offer.
I do have a friend who emigrated to Cyprus a couple of years ago......despite her best efforts, she hasn't managed to grow them successfully.
OL I watched last week they said frost damaged them and i just thought of David! got next episode on planner for next nap time think they're doing rose, hoping to pick up tips!

Hello, Isla...welcome to the forum. This thread is mostly intended for those growing sweet pea flowers.
Not to worry, I'll see if I can help.
Have been subjected to cold winds? This will have this affect, also if they have been over-watered..... especially when the nights are cold.

Rosemummy...they'll be fine, just tie them in then they've made enough growth to be able to do so.
You've been tending the needs of babies too long!

Ok David, I'll catch up. I think I stopped reading that as I hadn't watched it and didn't want to read any spoilers
Hanging basket sweet peas were mentioned a little while ago, so I thought I would post this to give the general idea.
This is of a 14in basket, taken about March last year.
