This photo was taken last September, I had planted some sweet peas by the old
trellis that was already here and they did really well. Directly in front of them is
a beautiful eucalyptus tree.

Hi Juliano.....ha..ha..I have the same problem as you...mine are now about 2" high with one set of leaves...I shall pinch them out as the next set develops. When I planted these in the pic.....we hadn't been here long and I just dug the ground over...threw half a bag of compost in the trench and stuck them in. I fed them every two weeks and just kept cutting the flowers. Chicken waste can be a bit strong and burn the roots....but if these are special pellets...then should be fine.

i've chucked aload of seed on the garden in my wild patch i'm hoping they'll do there own thing.
i brought some small plants this year and they had hardly any flowers on them.
