We shall have to compare notes later on JJB (I’m assuming you kept yours).
these are taller and spindlier than all the other germinated sweet peas. They also have a reddish stem.
It’s not a blown in seedling - they were all indoors waiting to be pricked out.
I'll take a picture this morning. Unfortunately I can't remember offhand what packet of seed it came from, I'll see if I can figure it out.
Here's a pic and it was out of a packet of Wilko seeds either Royal mixed or Bouquet mixed

Cut the grass, weeded a couple of veg beds and tidied up between the quarry tile paths.
