Caring for sweet peas whilst on holday
in Plants
My sweet peas are flowering and most are in bud and about to flower. I am about to go on holiday for two weeks and am mindful that I won't be here to cut the lowers. In order to stop the plants turnsector seed, is it safe to cut all buds thus preventing flooring when I'm away or o I just have to accept Willbthe I will return to seed pods? I cannt rely on my neighbours to cut them.

Yes, remove the flower buds - they'll be fine - have a lovely holiday

Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
What. No-one would like a free bunch of flowers?
