    Took some pix of sweet pea Cathy this morning growing up a wigwam of canes in a pot. Lovely scent.

     These ones are growing up the handrail beside my back door along with a clematis. All quite happy together in the same pot!

    FG- can smell them from here!

    Rabbit clobbered all mine this year, they never really recovered.  Next year i am reserving space for them in the new veg patch - will use the Beechgrove idea of growing them up net frames.

    We had same problem at last house chick but we had a huge pot about 3' high which previous owners left and I grew some in that when we were selling. It was too high for them to jump up into!

  • Lovely pics Mrs Garden.

    Fairygirl those sweetpeas are beautiful. Has made me think I may put white with just a single dark colour next year. Then the other wigwam mixed.

    pg - I've got a mix of Cupani and Cathy in two large terracotta pots. The Cupani are dark purple and a lighter shade on the same flower. I thought I put a pic on here but I think it was on Verd's 'star in the garden' thread. There are some nice dark sweet peas but i always grow Cupani -not sure why! They're slightly smaller than the more usual s.peas but beautiful perfume.

    Cathy Cupani would be a good forum name!

    Found the pic

    Hello, I'm new around here but have been reading loads having fallen in love with my garden this year for he first time afte 10 years of neglect. With an awful lot of elbow grease I'm pleased with the results although lots more to do and loads to learn.

    Lovely Georgie. It's obvious you've been working very hard to get it looking so good image
