Allotments 4 All

Hi all

this is my first time growing sweetpeas, i am meant to cut flowers to encourage more.  so i have only 8 plants growing up cane and have 3 or 4 flowers opening.  sorrry to be thick but when and how am i meant to start cutting them ???

cheers jo

Just cut them as soon as one or two flowers on a stem are opening

If they are for a nice garden show then cut them when all of the flowers  on the stem have faded befpore the seed pods fill up. If for a vase the cut just before the top flower has fully opened.
