Just to let you know that I have sown some now!! I know most will sow early next year ... but they can be sown now, (they will overwinter in the coldframe) ... anyway I have decided to do both!!
Just love them ... essential to have a nice niffl, and adore the frilly ones! What varieties do you guys grow ... who is doing Monty Don ?? !! Very expensive they are!

I love sweetpeas, but have never ever, ever, planted them at this time of year as I rarely have room in the greenhouse

Last time we planted sweet peas in the autumn there was a huge gale on Boxing Day which blew the greenhouse - and the sweetpeas - all over Northumberland! We have a rather more sturdy greenhouse now, so maybe we'll give it another go.
I love sweet peas too, although I can't remember any particular varieties (we just go for the ones that say they smell the sweetest). We had them on the table at our wedding breakfast

Some of the nicest I think are the traditional Spencer frilled. AND ... this morning I was looking at the Tuckers Seed Catalogue and they have an offer on the back page for 100 seeds for £1.50

I like Jellycat just go for the smelly ones too, but my neighbour had some this year with the most divine colours!
