That came over really well Alan and even I was able to see how to do it. I am happy just to be able to grow them at the moment. ♻️Happy gardening, Terry King.
So nice of you Clive, they are doing better than I expected, I could see the first bit of colour tonight when I came home from work, enjoy the rest of your weekend kind regards…………alan🌿
thanks Danny, I’m surprised at the thickness of the stems, fingers crossed for a good crop, enjoy the rest of your weekend take good care kind regards…………………alan 🌿
Great timing Alan! By coincidence it's also my first year growing sweet peas as cordons. Mine are a bit behind yours and I've only got a dozen. Thanks for showing how to prune side shoots properly - I was lopping the lot! I've some others growing in the normal chaotic way at home as insurance that I'll have enough to satisfy she who must be obeyed. Happy sowing, growing and harvesting
I’m pleased it was good timing, I’m sure you will make a good job of them, it has amazed me how thick the stems are, I did find the rings of Amazon to be a great help, I haven’t done any the old way , so I may be in trouble if theses fail 😁, at least you have a back up plan 😂, please let me know how you get on, kind regards…………alan🌿
I’m not an expert on ornamentals but I reckon you’ve done a proper job on that. They are great looking plants - healthy and vigorous. Look forward to seeing the display - should be fantastic 👍😀
Hi Jonny, and thank you, they have done better than I expected, I’ve never grown them this way before and there isn’t too much info on TH-cam, but if you look what’s happening you can work out if it’s right, not looking forward to the layering though 🥴, take care of yourself kind regards…………alan🌿
I imagine the layering will be a nightmare. I’ve only seen that done with tomatoes and then it’s fairly easy as they will be on strings and hooks - you just unwind some more string and move the hooks along.
Wow they look great 😍 didn’t get around to sowing any sweet peas in the Autumn really regretting it now . These are going to look fantastic when in flower, can’t wait to see them 👍😀🌻
hello Margery, sorry for the delay, we’ve had no internet for 12 days😡, they are coming on nicely now, and the smell is wonderful, hope your keeping safe and well, kind regards…………..alan🌿
Watching this has made me rethink how I grow mine. I always seem to succumb to the dreaded powdery mildew and probably due to overcrowding. I shall be getting my snips out this afternoon!! Thanks Annie
Hello Annie, my apologies for late reply, I’ve had no internet for 12 days😡, they are growing well at the moment, 🤞, have learnt a lot trying them this way, I’m sure yours will do you proud, take good care of yourself kind regards……….alan🌿
Almost a year to the day you were hit with that frost!! Hoping you don't get caught out this year. Excellent demonstration. Plants look strong. Our sweet peas are about 2" tall atm :) but coming!! Have a great weekend Jason and Colleen 🌱🌱🌱
They are monsters 😃 - in a good way 😉 looking bigger than a cornstalks!! Seems like it will take good bit of maintenance to keep them from scrambling together but amazing job to have grown them that big. I only got mine out of root trainers yesterday 😅 slugs had done a lot of pruning so I'll let the scramble away. Best wishes, Maiju 💚🌿
Hello Maiju, I’m very pleased with them so far, the stems have surprised me, “SLUGS” what a nuisance, but sweet peas are very forgiving, I’m sure you will have a good display, the weather is much better now, take good care of yourself kind regards………..alan🌿
Loved the clip of your pond and wow your sweet peas look awesome, I never have much luck with them myself. Have popped a few in but not as fastidious about them as you. Now I've seen your advice this year might give them a bit more attention next time.
Hi Alan this is a way we will be doing some next season as hope to be going and putting few bits in our local show its come back this season but was unaware, we have some growing up canes and netting behind greenhouse helps shade it plus scent is great they are in flower now. keep safe Bill and val
gosh flowers already how lovely, you have to be disciplined with the pruning but it’s not to hard, I look forward to seeing them , hope you both have a wonderful weekend, kind regards…………alan🌿
Really interesting. I have always fancied trying to cordon them. i watch what you are doing with interest. my few plants will go up a trellis as usual this year though.
Hello mags, how are you getting on? I will see how well they do before deciding if I will do them the same, but I’m pleased so far, enjoy your weekend kind regards………alan🌿
They look so different, as you say, much bigger stems and very big overall. I'm just growing in the standard time honoured way, I may try a handful like that one year if your results when they flower are as good. I'm growing Elegant Lady, Galaxy mixed and Night and day, which I often grow, the over wintered ones have just opened there first flowers (I'm in the south of England) all the best John
Hello John, many thanks for taking the time to watch and comment, I to have wanted to try them as cordon’s for years, it’s a bit of a learning curve but 🤞hopefully things will come out well, there is some colour just starting to come now, do you also sow in the late winter/spring, take good care of yourself kind regards…………………alan🌿
