I do believe that Snadger has had even less success than I have at growing these plants!

Sorry guys it's a bit of an in joke. Poor old Snadge grew some of the non flowering sweet peas last year and I haven't let him forget it They were sown in March/April I think from a packet I found in the bottom of the tin and have only been planted out about 3 weeks. Mind you they got a good watering in Lol!!! they have only just started to flower (loads of buds) but we've got a vase of them at home that's the main thing.

PS. there's only 8 plants there on the wigwam

You're really cruel Nick, but it sounds like Snadger might have cracked the sweet pea lark this year. Mine were rubbish last year as well but have a few flowers on them at the moment.
