Was held this weekend, sadly I couldn't photograph the smell within the marquis, but I did get some reasonable shots of some of the blooms & displays

If you're interested in sweet peas, that is the best thing to do - go to a show and see (and smell) the particular varieties 'in the flesh'. A miniature picture in a seed catalogue cannot possibly do justice to the flowers.Pain is still pain, suffering is still suffering, regardless of whoever, or whatever, is the victim.

The thing that makes this particular show so special is that it's run by the Eckford Society & they have seeds for old varieties, one going back to 1699 (about 20 others are pre-1910)He who smiles in the face of adversity,has already decided who to blame

Sorry to butt in but I have just found out that the sweet peas that grow at the end of the drive and are as tough as old boots (they appear every year without assisstance) are wild ones, thank you Google images.
Can I save the seeds and plant them in the porch next year and then put them out in the back garden.
The pods that are on the plant has very small seeds in them and I was wondering if and how to so it?I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work. Thomas A. Edison

Yes, no problems Lumpy treat your perennial plants the same as annuals, leave the pods on the plant until they turn brown, pick & place in a warm sunny place until the pods open naturally & seeds fall out.3/4 fill a 6" pot with a 75/25 mix of MPC & sharp sand, stand in water to soak, top-up pot with dry mix & press seeds in about 1/4" & cover, now put the pot in a polythene bag & seal, pop it into your airing cupboard & be patient. Perennials generally grow better in clumps, so plenty of seeds per pot

If they are anything like annual sweet peas, the seeds ping out with some vigour when the pods go crispy - I'd suggest putting the pods in a loosely turned over paper bag on your sunny windowsill.Originally posted by bearded bloke View PostComment
