Sweet Peas still growing from last year
« on: January 07, 2012, 21:04 »
I am amazed at how my sweet peas (that didn't flower) that were planted out in my garden last summer are rampant and climbing all over the fence. I have never known this to happen so I could be a first :-) If they survive the next few weeks will they flower this season ?

No idea but they've done far better than mine.  Try feeding them with a high potash feed once spring is here, and see what they do!
I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days all attack me at once...

It would sound as if you had a perennial sweet pea there.

But with this weather this year one never knows, a lot of things are out there here in flower to amazement.

A very strange year indeed - one of my hydrangeas was still flowering in November/December and is only now starting to lose its leaves. Do not know what sort of knock on effect that will have on the plant later on. Also I was out for a walk recently and saw a fuchsia in full bloom.

My borage is still going strong and in flower. I don't like this at all. I like everything to be in it's place instead of this insipid perpetual mildness.

Planted a number of sweet peas on a trellis between the greenhouse and a siting area, the others have died but the one closest the fence is still in flower.

Just that bit of protection from the fence is keeping the sweet peas going. Like all peas, they love cooler weather and will grow rampant though not necessarily flower too much.

My runner beans were still alive with big fat healthy roots. Should have kept them in for this summer.

I suspect these could be perennial sweet peas - however, anything's possible - have just seen daffodils in flower in a neighbour's garden.  Madness!

Don't worry, the last frost killed them off.
