Tip of the Week

Sweetpeas need a well-drained, normal soil with plenty of good organic matter dug in.You can grow them as you would runner beans i.e.in rows using bamboo canes or as I do on ´wigwams´ of canes, about a dozen canes is a good size. When you choose a variety, you need tall ones to grow up the canes. Varieties termed ´Old Fashioned´ usually produce smaller flowers but usually have the strongest scent.
