Mine have reached the top of their canes but not a single flower yet
But I know that's my fault for pinching them out quite a bit & I know that once they come, the competition winner will be in the bag for me


Sue your garden is gorgeus

You will probably have the most gorgeous sweetpeas by the end of August when ours have all gone yellow and spindly

I've grown mine into an arch not bad for my 1st attempt eh I've picked loads too & they smell lovely




There's a stone fairy sitting in the middle of the arch (but wouldn't fit in the pic on my mobile)


I must be the winner now

They look absolutely lovely old clever clogs. I pulled mine up a few weeks back as got fed up with the yellowing leaves and short stemmed flowers. I think you are definitely in the running for 1st place unless one of the others comes up with something stupendous. I think the stone fairy worked her magic on yours.
