Hi there. I only now discovered your blog and I love it! I read your name a few times here and there, but never followed the link. What a mistake!

I’ve saved the loo rolls and I have a few root trainers from last year, like you say the comparison will be interesting. I’m undecided as to what colours to do though, I’m maybe thinking very pale with some very, very dark? But I change my mind EVERY time I look at the various websites, so many to choose from!

I love sweet peas. And my three-year-old boy does too. Mine are still going (just).

So, have you sown yours already? I had loads of loo roll inners saved but used them for the school gardening club (selfless person I am!) so am resorting to root trainers. I’ve not done an autumn sowing before so we’ll see how they compare.

Oh we are sweetpea lovers and have a wall of them behind the playhouse. I love the smell and it means we always have fresh flowers in the house. They are such a giving plant. The more you cut the more flowers you get. Plus my neighbours love me, as they cut them from their side of the fence too. I will get looking too. I just love a hotch potch of colours the kitcher the better

Sweet peas are my favourite flower, my husband lovingly grew me loads of the scented variety this year but as soon as I bought them in the house his hayfever went mad. I ended up having to just look at them on the fence and give them away This year non scented ones because I so love to have them all over my house.

Aren’t sweetpeas the best? We put simple strings up the side of our home for them to attach onto. In a couple of months they look spectacular.
Love you site.
