I shall sow some more sweet peas today.
Like you, Scarlet I’ve got a good few from an Autumn sowing. Mine have been outside under old double glazing panes.
But I like to have a second sowing round about now to extend the flowering season.

I was also going to try some in March? I'm sure I watched a program with Carole what's her face did a very late sowing and was picking in late September?

I love them but I found the fragrance gave me migraines- but I love to gift them abs they look fab in the garden

No cover. My project this year is maybe try to make a large coldframe - laden with mouse traps - sorry veggies

Why the apology Scarlet, are you going to eat themRolleyes Big Grin

Is it time for an Autumn sowing of sweet peas?

Monty on Gardener's World did his last week, so better get a wriggle on!

I must do some myself this weekend, thanks (both) for the reminders.

I haven't done any late summer/autumn sowing this year. Sweet peas coming up this weekend, as I also got loads in my bargain pack
