    I sowed my sweet peas yesterday. Here's a question: Assuming that they do alright, is it wise to sow another batch in spring for a later flowering, or will the first batch keep going all season?

    Thannks!

    Hi, ommthree

    The seeds you have recently sown will flower between May & Aug/Sept...those sown in March should continue to flower until the autumn.

    Thanks a lot David! Let's see if the first batch survive the winter!

    No for you David K forgot to put that, just wondered as they are small plants best in autumn or spring

  • Gardengirl, I have gown these dwarf SPs a couple of times for patio containers and preferred to grow them as bedding plants i.e. sowing them in the spring.
