Sweet Pea Wigwam


Sweet Pea Wigwam

These Sweet Peas were grown from free seeds from Gardeners World, they have been growing in my Mini Greenhouse which is brimming with litle plants waiting to be planted out. So a dry day with sunny spells and rather chilly I decided to take the plunge and plant them up, so fingers crossed we have seen the back of the frosts! I have a fleece waiting in the wings just in case;0)

Look forward to see the photo with all the lovely flowers.
Lovely pot - I had one similar, but lost it with the frost 2 winters ago!! Supposed to be frost resistant, but it was extremely cold.

Beautiful. Even if there is a frost they should be ok PP. They are hardy.

I have some to plant too Carole, not as big as yours yet I was a bit late sowing this year, the pots a good idea though, I min't do the same with mine can't decide were else to put them ;-)
Yes agree with Michaela, love your garden, always so much colour even without flowers with all the different foliage colours, lovely........

I have mine set in little pots at the minute like Simbad late planting them but think I shall steal your idea and put them into a tub and make myself a wigwam. Thank you for the idea.

Thanks Michaella everything is starting to colour up now;0)
Thanks Herica, what a shame about your pot, I have had mine around 5years now and its been fine, but lost a number of Terracotta ones trhis year with the frost!

Thats good news Karen, pleased they are hardy, they were taking too much room up in my mini Greenhouse so took the risk.

Thanks Kathy andOlive, I planted some directly into the border last year and lost them all the pesky slugs got them, think these will look nice growing up the Wigwam and will be more protected too;0)
