Hi there, going to pick some of my sweet pea flowers, just wondered the best way to pick them?  Happy Sunny Sunday!

Pick them as soon as one flower opens, taking the whole stem off with a sharp pair of scissors.

Clear all the flowers and next day more will come.

They only smell sweet for a day or two at the most after being picked, so I put new ones in the vase every other day.
