    Sweet Peas 2021….

    Are you sowing Sweet Pea seeds now and over-wintering or do you sow them in the Spring? I’m told they grow stronger, flower earlier and with greater energy if sown now, nipped out, overwintered and talked to nicely over Christmas, is that correct?
    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:
    1. Do you save seeds (do they ‘explode’ to disseminate? Do they need a cold snap?)
    2. Do you sow now/soon or in Spring?
    3. My stems were very short this year, is that a result of overcrowding or species determined? Any solutions to that problem?
    4. Do you prune off the tendrils?
    5. 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?
    Thank you…. bb.
