Finally!

My first sweetpea has flowered!! Woo hoo! Its only taken AGES!!!! Very excited as there are buds everywhere and they will soon be looking vereeeeee pretty :-)

 

Don't tell me, I sowed them in march, and they are STILL not blooming!!

Enjoy your sweet peas!

 

well, there is hope yet! mine were from march & april too!

 

I am told that this is not a good year for sweet peas- [wait for the avalanche of pics from members with beautiful flowers]. Mine have buds showing, were sown late march. But better late than never

 

Every autumn I tell myself I should be sowing my sweet peas but never get around to it. So I'm still waiting for the first flower from my spring sown peas. Maybe this year...

 

I'm glad it's not just me! usually I am lucky with sweet peas but not this year!
I sowed some towards the end of last year which appeared really strong and healthy, planted them out and got just a few flowers quite early. Also I planted some that I bought in the spring and have just had about 8 flowers and that's it!

So definately a bad year for me anyway!

 

Lol I'll join the sweetpea moaners :D
Mine have just started to bud up you can really tell the difference from last year's plants although I must confess my plants are from our own seeds collected last year so that could be one of the problems.Hel.xxx.

 

I am now Vereeeeee excited as I have 4(!) flowers! How exciting. Strangely, they are supposed to be blue, but are actually a total assortment (sigh) but hey ho, flowers is flowers and I LOVE sweetpeas!

 

Supposed to... total assortment.... I am having this problem with nasturtiums this year.... grrrrrrr.

Still no flowers from my sp. In Italy it was so hot in summer that they were mummified before they could bloom, I hoped to finally see a sp bloom now (I NEVER HAVE!!) but nope, they are just snoring on their stick. But I spied a bud today, so I am hopeful.
