I have manged to grow some sweet peas over winter and want to put themon my allotment. Just wondering if they are any good as companion plants for anything. If not,I'll just put them where they can be seen from the gate!

Runner beans!
The sweet peas attract the bees and the bees pollinate the beans.

Yep. grew mine with the runner beans and french beans last year - also grow sunflowers with the beans - look great in summer and all support each other! ;D

Ok, willput them where I plan to put my french beans (not doing runners). I guess anything that attracts bees is a good companion anyway!
