I love sweet peas, we've been growing an old fashioned variety ( Matucana) for a few years but I have no seeds this year as I sold them all on eBay!  |

Sweet peas are one of my most favourite flowers, they always remind me of my gran, she also loved them and used to have loads growing around her garden, the dead heading on the older varieties can be a bit of a chore but worth it to keep them going longer, last year I grew some hanging ones and had them in a couple of baskets I put on top of old chimneys which I had painted with the same white paint that we had done the outside walls with and they looked very nice, | | | |
