The Talking Dirty Podcast: How to Grow the Best Sweet Peas with Easton Walled Gardens (Ep 48)

Some places are synonymous with certain flowers, and at Easton Walled Gardens that flower is the Sweet Pea. For years they've tried different varieties and ways of growing them and shared their discoveries with their garden visitors.
As this year's Sweet Pea Season begins, Lady Ursula Cholmeley joins Alan Gray (East Ruston Old Vicarage) and Thordis to talk through the history of both the gardens and their association with Sweet Peas. Plus plenty of tips and tricks and top varieties.
And, as if all the Sweet Pea Show and Tell wasn't enough, there are also some lime-tolerant lovelies, which Ursula has been trying in their delightfully named 'Pickery' (or cutting garden!).
If you're not already swooning of Sweet Peas, get ready for some serious FLOMO (Floral FOMO) in this episode.
