[areia]

wow yours are hugggggggggggggggggge mine are still tiny, you live in a show home very nice piccy looks like it come out of a mag, im not saying its fake just saying Wow they are pretty

[piskieinboots]

LOL @ show home - I am in military quarters....hehehe - but thank you for the kind words

I am the only gardener on the patch, I always am - it is really sad to see, but many stop and admire what I am doing and then say 'what is the point, you could get posted in a couple weeks' ...to which I say 'I might not and in the meantime I will enjoy gardening and the pleasure all the growth brings me'

[Finedon.Dandy]

WOW!!!!

I can never arrange sweet peas like that. I always end up cramming them in to get any sort of effect but I love the way you have managed to get fewer look better. I will practice more this year once mine get going, spring sown but am tempted (if I remeber that is!) to try autumn sowings.

I have had a dismal year for sweetpeas, which is a shame as I love them. Piskie, yours look fab, so jealous but thanks for sharing!

[Nicos]

lovely colours piskie!
I gave up with sweet peas a couple of years ago....loads of flowers but TONNES of greenfly
sticky/yuck mess in the house

[piskieinboots]

I do murder/death/kill on the greenfly with my fingers hun - it really works. Having said that, I grow roses very very close to my SP's and they tend to get the max of the greenfly, it is easier to get them off the roses with ones fingers

really envious!every year I promise myself I'll not forget to plant some flowers,this year have had a packet of sweetpeas sat by the breadbin so i would remember to plant them...unfortunately they're still ther!!well done they look beautiful!

[piskieinboots]

thanks A&D and hopefully they will inspire you to move them from the breadbin to rootrainers this autum and then yours will be as big as mine

[di]

need inspiration on the gladioli,&marigold front too!!although i might just try burying the glads 2moro & see if anything happens!...my pea peas have finally got flowers but they dont quite have the same effect!!ne'r mind my bday 2moro,maybe andi'll get me some redy grown flowers to plant!?&then theres always next year>>>>!

[squashysu]

wow wee - lovely sweet peas piskie, i have some growing and hope they look as lovely as yours, no way near as high though!!

[Lady Jana Muck]

ok guys - my doubting Thomas of a Sister says that they are not my sweetpeas and I am to prove it, she reckons I bought them from a shop - you are named and shamed Sis!!

and yes Sis dearest the bushes are (nearly) bear, cos I picked 'em all today - refer you to the above pic

OK I believe you, does that mean I can come down from this Google Earthy thing now cos I'm getting a nose bleed

[piskieinboots]

I'm guessing they won't show up on GE until next year by which time they will be well and truly over - so, yes - come down Sis and have a beer

Sweet Pea

Piskie, Those flowers are so gorgeous. What a nice arrangement.

[loveday69]

Beautiful! well done, and the arrangement is fantastic - love it - I of course forgot to sow mine - just call me dory, my kids do and my grandkids are catching on too.

[lainey lou]

They're gorgeous Piskie, well done you!
I only have one flower so far, my first lot died and I had to buy more from t'garden centre!
