Love your sweetpeas F.B. I love the colours, I came back to a nice display lovely long stems but the colours arent as delicate as yours they are what I would call stronger darker I think I much prefer yours  Ill take a pic when they regrow, I picked a bunch for my D.I.L. when she called to-night I wish I had done more plants now they were the tidiest thing in the garden everything else is overgrown  Im going to be very busy the next few days Me Thinks. |

Im amazed ladyg I expected to come home and find them laying flat on the floor dead ;D the first week I was away was very hot according to tulip and she rang my youngest and asked him to come and water which he did I think, and the last weeks were wet, just as well for me.  |

Its all down to timing isnt it Sweety? I know Biggs put hers in well after me! she couldnt find where she had put them they will all do the same I suppose just some will finish earlier than others ? or will they?? I know if I go away again and nobody picks them! mine will finish early. |

I was hoping that they would be towers of colour and scent for the BBQ so we placed them either side of the steps down onto the lawn, they looked ok there but no colour and definitely no scent......buttocks! Never mind, we have it in our future instead. |

I've done that Sweetleaf and the Nov/Dec ones are flowering first (all three of them!)bit nowhere near as good as FBs. As Maggy said, hopefully, I will have flowers later in the season with the spring ones. I'm not going to do the toilet roll method again though, didn't really work for me, I had just as good if not better results in pots. |
