Mine were ok again this year, endless supply (daily routine!) but I don’t think they thought much of some of the weather this Summer… I’ve taken them out now, they were getting tangled and mildewy. Some questions with next year in mind:
- Do you save seeds (do they ‘explode’ to disseminate? Do they need a cold snap?)
- Do you sow now/soon or in Spring?
- My stems were very short this year, is that a result of overcrowding or species determined? Any solutions to that problem?
- Do you prune off the tendrils?
- The heady perfumes of yesteryear seem to be a thing of the past (though my younger brother who works with the elderly insists it’s my nose that’s at fault rather than the Sweet Peas….). Any recommendations?
