Glad to see your Sweet peas just flowering, I put my seeds in late, but they are climbing well, so am hoping for blooms soon....Delphis been doing well this year...and yours look good together...

yes, the sweet peas are particularly good. My daughter and i ( she is the real expert ) sowed them last October. They were really strong by Feb and were planted in May. Like they say, the more you cut the more you get. So we are dead heading every day. THe result is a magnificent display and a house that smells of sweet peas....wouldn't be without them.....they are one of the joys of summer i think..

Glad to hear your delphiniums have done well. Here in the cold wet of Northern England they have been disappointing i'm sorry to report. Short lived and leggy. I think it must have been that bad winter....at least thats my excuse....

We had hardly any Rain since April...but we're getting a little now, and does it make a difference...I've got one more Pacific Giant, sprouting new growth, but if that comes good, I think it will be the last for the season...so all in all not bad...
