Sweetpeas

[maverick451]

Im usually rubbish at sweet peas but this year me and a mate sowed them in october and planted them out in late march/April

They are the best sweet peas ive grown by a mile, def worth autumn sowing

The first few of mine have blossomed in the last couple of days.
They look great Maverick.

First flower in the greenhouse(not including tommies and chillies/peppers), the ones outside planted at the same time are barely knee high.

Mine are flowering, so am I correct in thinking that the more flowers I pick, the more they will produce?

[Martin H]

Yes. In fact you must pick the flowers or they will stop flowering.

My sweet peas

This is my second bunch of the year so far.... they are Wiltshire Ripple from my own saved seeds....



(plain purple from different plants).

[Martin H]

NIce one, seasprout! Wiltshire Ripple is one of the varieties I grow. It's interesting that unlike most sweet peas, the flowers from saved seed seem to be quite variable, some darker and some paler. I would save seed only from the ones that are truest to type, but I don't know which ones those are!

Following on from my last pic I must share a picture of my friends sweet peas from the allotment
