Leggy sweet pea!

One of my sweet peas seems a bit leggy (the others are fine). Should I nip the top out or leave it?

I always pinch out the tops of my sweet peas to make them bushy, so you certainly won't be doing any harm

I do the same thing.

Thanks - they have all had a haircut and look a lot better for it already!

Pinching out the tips encourages side shotts and it has worked a treat for me

They should be fine :
