Anyone else adore sweet peas? They're one of my favourites and I grow masses. I've been learning more with a new book (given copy, not paid for review). 'A World of Sweet Peas' is an in depth look at 'The Queen of Annuals'. Reviewed on my blog: https://bit.ly/3E3AIhg
@simplicitarian #sweetpeas My work-mate and I are taking turns to bring some in to work each week. Mine are about on their 4th generation of self-seeding, and seem to be not as highly scented as hers... still, they look pretty, and smell nice on close inspection. what joy

Who grew sweet peas this year? After a slow start, it turned out to be a good season.
I've been looking back at the varieties I trialled (gifted seed) and deciding which were the winners. You can read about what I grew on my blog: https://bit.ly/4dMss1C
Just harvested a basketful of sweet peas from the allotment! 
Their sweet, delicious scent is a pure delight and a must-have for any vegetable garden. Growing these beauties adds both fragrance and flavor to our space. #GardenJoy #SweetPeas #HomeGrownHappiness #VeggieGarden
Sweet peas are coming on strong! Their vibrant colors and delicate petals are adding a beautiful touch to the garden. Loving this burst of natural beauty. Who else is enjoying these lovely blooms? #GardenJoy #SweetPeas #NatureLovers
The sweet pea harvest is starting to ramp up.
These filled several vases - the smell around the house is wonderful.
There are still a few plants that haven’t started flowering yet - some that were sown late and others that sulked.

#BloomScrolling #sweetpeas Sweet Pea season is in full swing now on my little balcony. Most of the ones I planted are in bloom, I'm still waiting for 4 or 5 varieties. It's been a good year for them so far, because spring was relatively cool. We'll see how they handle 32° C (forecast for Friday). Hopefully better than me! Names are in the alt.
While I love the pretty pastel colours of sweet peas, I do think they need something darker to set them off. ‘Black Prince.’ Is doing the job beautifully.
This is the first proper vase of sweet peas of the season.
I don’t sow until January so they’re always a little later but this year they sulked in the cold spring.

#BloomScrolling #SweetPeas #BerlinBalcony 1st Sweet Pea of the year is open! This one is called "Blue Shift" - because that's what it does. The blossoms start out purple or magenta and then gradually turn blue.
After weeks of sulking, the sweet peas have perked up and it shouldn’t be long until the first flowers.
