Default Sweet Peas

On saturday I picked a lovely bunch of sweet peas for myself as they are my first ones.
Today I have picked a second bunch to put on my sister Annie's grave as she was so looking forward to sharing my crops from the Lottie, alas she didnt live long enough so this is the next best thing.

What a lovely thought. I love sweet peas (and wallflowers) because of the lovely memories I have of someone who always grew them, and sadly is no longer with us, but I'd never thought of taking them to her grave. I'll definitely do this though now. Thank You for that.

The next bunch will be for my mum and dads grave, I am going to try and grow sweet williams next year as these along with roses were my dads favourites. Wallflowers, sweet williams, sweet peas, and roses are my childhood memories of dad in the garden.
Glad to give you an idea.
