Sweetpeas damaged by heavy rain

My poor sweetpeas have suffered from the heavy rain and strong winds, tops of plants snapped off, will these re-grow? I have just spent the last hour tying the plants onto the supports.

    They'll put out some side shoots and grow thicker and bushier - it's just gardening I'm afraid image

    hi Grajean

    As Dove says they will pull through with a little time and tlc.

    Heavy rain storms and hailstone was forcasted last week in the north east so i used some protection on my soft crops.

    guess what it never came however if i hadnt of done it the rain would have poured.

    keep plodding on and happy gardening
