Here are some pictures of the Sweet Peas what RTG gave me as seeds.   Personally I fink she fooled me into believing them to be Sweet Peas cos they grow faster than Triffids! ;D I've got to repot some of em already and they only germinated at the begining of the week!  Will keep you all updated. |

I planted some seeds too, a few weeks ago and they grew really quickly. I hope they flower!
The other things I planted that grew quickly were beans. They are supposed to be dwarf beans, so I guess they will stop growing soon, but i am amazed how quickly they shot up!

I've repotted the sweet peas now but they've shot up some more since that picture was taken. I'm a bit unsure about whether to plant them out at the moment cos they could get hit by a frost but on the other hand they're getting so big now that my kitchen now resembles a part of the rain forest!  |

Toby, have you pinched the middles out of each plant yet...that will help them to bush out.
Also, I know it's a bit of a faff, but put them out each morning and bring them in each night, just to get them used to it before you take the plunge and plant them out properly.

Yep I pinched the tops off as they were growing.  Ooops!!  They be out in the open air already Peekie cos I was worried that they was gerrin too leggy in the pots. Will just have to keep fingers crossed that they cope with the weather now. |

Tobes
Have you thought of getting a small coldframe? They come in handy for hardening off the more tender stuff that needs to go outside when your windowsill gets full. We have got a couple that have come in very handy over the years.

WE bought a small, flatpack coldframe for that very reason.
One big wind and it blew away.
Doh!

I've gone through two lots. The first, from seed, which were v leggy like Toby's and the slugs got the lot the second, bought plants are very poor and no sign of flowers (those that have survived the b****** slugs of course) |
