Post by: betula on July 05, 2010, 23:05:11
Doubt I will see a pepper on these this season and the sweet peas are not in much of a hurry  :(

My sweet peas have finally flowered this week, but nothing like last year. Although I have a couple of peppers (in the greenhouse) all my plants are covered in whitefly and greenfly. :(

My peppers are still quite small, about a foot high but they already have numerous flower buds and they are growing steadily. I wouldn't give up just yet. They do fruit relatively late sometimes.

Hi
my sweat peas have been a real disappointment this year, such a shame as I love to see them.
The peppers in pots in the garden are going from strength to strength but the ones on the plot are struggling  :-\

I have had - so far - a brilliant year with Sweet peas!  My friend always plants the early ones and gives them to me late winter and then I planted up the seeds saved from last year and some new seed earlier on.

They have been just fantastic - the earlier ones are coming to an end soon but the later ones are just bounding away (literally!) - fantastic year for me for sweet peas.  But you moved in the middle of it all didn't you Denise?  So they are trying their hardest and you will have flowers when mine have finished!

Sweet peas at home and at the allotment flowering well.  Peppers seemed to have stopped growing, thought they would love all the sunshine we have been having.

Sweet peas not doing so well up here either. They are flowering, although quite sparsely, and they're only about two foot high.

Guess the crazy weather isn't helping them.

We all have different results my sweetpeas are the best for several years, I have already had to layer them as they got too high to tie.Entered a local show 2 weeks ago . The results are on my website.
