    The buds?

    Fantastic achievement David and one to be truly proud of, I hope my buds appear soon too image

    In all seriousness I think it is an achievement well deserved, if only for all the advice you've given us on here.  What will it be called - David? Or Mr Snail? 

  • Thanks, OL....of course, I'll need to be charging for this stuff when I'm famous. image

    Understand it's just a tiny bud and the plants are little more than 18" tall.

    18"?? That's about twice the size of mine image

    Do we get a family and friends discount on David K Sweet  Peas?? image

    I've already told to mention my name when you order from from Eagle SPs and you may get a discount.  image

    Ps delay in response as I was back-scrolling to find your advice on pinching out (p24 if anyone else thinking 'is it time yet') before I asked!

    David that is absolutely fantastic how exciting please do keep us up to date, by the way after seeing one of your pics, i got 'gwendoline' seeds.i planted them a month later than others, they germinated quickly, i didn't harden off poroperly just left outside, planted in ground and you can't tell the difference at the moment,i have planted 3 plants in a 3 foot tall pot, it had no drainage holes so i wedged a normal pot in about a foot from the bottom, filled with compost and planted,with all this rain though i think i' d better get some holes in the bottom,it's not heavy so it could be tilted over and held while this is done rather than emptying it... i hope!
