Is Anyone having problems with sweet peas this year? Mine have just grown a little and decided to play dead! They've had plenty of water, fantastic soil - even glorious sunshine! But its as though they dont want the hassle of growing!!!

It's all a mystery to me. My beans are rubbish - and worse on one side of the bed than the other. One potato plant - from a spud I left in by mistake last year - is enormous, the carefully nurtured seed potatoes are looking really tragic. But, I have to say, smugly, my sweetpeas are looking fantastic! Flowers just coming, with beautiful long straight stems. The plants are about 5 foot tall. I put them in a different place each year, with plenty of compost underneath. I do think sweetpeas seem to sit sulking at first, and then all of a sudden they perk up & then there's no stopping them. Good luck!
