Sweet Peas Set In The Autumn


Sweet Peas Set In The Autumn

I'm looking forward to getting these set out when frosts are past. Should I be pinching the tops out again?

I've saved lots of toilet roll middles for my sweet peas but haven't got any going yet. These are looking great.

They look good Dawn , you can pinch the tops out to make them bush out for your garden , but not if you are growing them for shows that's a whole different thing ..... I know someone who grows them for shows , it looks like hard work to me , they deserve a medal if they win or even enter !

Thanks guys. I did take the tops out a couple of months ago. I cant believe they've been growing :-)
No Amy, no shows for me, lol, like you say, sounds stressful. I'll pinch them out this week. I'll be pleased when I can remove the bubble wrap tent thingy from the greenhouse, I'm fed up now with fighting my way in but its done an excellent job.

The guys on here gave me the idea of sowing the sweet peas in October - I'm pleased I did now as they'll have a good start.
