Re: Sweet pea

Me too, they are lovely to look at and lovely to smell. I am growing "Night and Day" (which is deep maroon and white), and "Floral Tribute" which a lovely mixed variety. I'm also trying a dwarf one especially for hanging baskets, never tried that one before, so that'll be interesting.
I've sown Cosmos Sonata (the smaller Cosmos) for the front garden, and various Dianthus, a few Penstemons and some Diascus (think I've spelt that wrong). That should do me along with the perennials from other years.
I always get over-excited and grow too many, and end up giving no end away - I just like growing stuff.

Be nice to see them when in flower especially the dwarf ones. If mine are a success i will put some photos on.
