Sweet peas
laurieuk:
In my opinion sweet peas are best sown the end of October ad grown hard through the winter, but that is just my way. I live in the south. I grow for shows .
Digeroo:
I normally find that if I sow them in October that something has eaten them before the end of the winter. I used to put them on top of the waterbutt. But once the mice found there was a treat awaiting them somehow they got up there.
I have just invested in some root trainers, with a lid, perhaps that will be the answer.
Obelixx:
It was really too hot and dry here last year so we had very few flowers form a late January sowing last year.
This year I sowed them in early November, a whole packet in a big 60cm pot. We've had warm, frosts, wet, dry, gale force winds and mists and gentle breezes.
So far 2 have popped and grown about 4"/10cm high. This morning I see another has popped. Fingers crossed for more as three are going to look ridiculous.
