and do do do keep on top of the dead-heading once they turn to flower, the more you dead-head the more (and longer) they will flower. Once they turn to seed pods it is pretty much game over.

Mine are cracking, I did an autumn sowing and have had three or four small bunches off them already a girl can never have too many sweetpeas
