    Nope, tell me more. I have only ever bothered about things I can eat, but fancied a change this year and thought I would do some flowers (apart from last year when I bought 100 very cheap hanging baskets from sainsburgs, grew loads of flowers in them, and tried to sell them at seaham car boot sale, but the one week I go to sell them, I was sited opposite 2 professional plant sellers, ans it was a total waste of time :D)

    Thought you might have been a regular sweet pea grower. I've done autumn sowings before to get very early sweetpeas in the greenhouse and outside but they take a fair bit of looking after.
