Sweet Post

Look what the postman brought!

These are a present from my Mum and Dad

This is how they spent the night and today they will be planted out to the prepared sweet pea trench.

Here in Northumberland the ground has only just started to warm up, Geoff remembers snow on June 6th one year, so while the rest of the country - ie - The South - may have sweet peas ten feet tall by now, planting out now is just fine for us.

So now the fun is how to plant them! We have Old Times, Pulsar, Cathy and Heathcliff (!), Blue Danube and Terry Wogan! I had no idea sweet pea namers got so carried away!

Obviously Cathy and Heathcliff have to be on opposite sides of the canes so that they are together but always apart....  and Terry? well he could be dotted around the place like he is on the BBC. The others? I'd need suggestions I think. They are going in tonight because now I have to go to WORK!! (and guard the fridge)

Thank you Mum and Dad and enjoy your French adventure!

I love the names for the Sweet Peas. Terry Wogan as a Sweet Pea though! Plant parcels are so exciting. We have only just planted out some bedding. Everything is so behind by several weeks here in the East.

Lucky you, as Zoe said we are also behind my sweet peas are only 10" high. They are such lovely flowers please take photos for us when they are in their full glory. Hope your parents have a good trip.

I must have grown many hundreds of Sweet Peas, surely most people's favourite flower but never have I considered keeping different personalities apart? Perhaps someone should have advised me on this many years ago. Any road up, you seem to be making a perfect job of what you are doing and the reward will be in the numbers of vases of gorgeous scented flowers you are able to have and give to your friends. Well done and lots of love. Dad.

Love the socks, funnily enough I have just bought a sock making kit from eBay which arrived a few days ago, I will post a picture on my journal soon, just finished first sock, quite pleased with it too, and its the same wool as you have but mine has some pink and yellow in it.

Sweet peas, roses, peonies and blue bells are my favourite flowers. Remember keep picking the flowers, and more will grow back. Enjoy..
