It has been a bad year for me with sweet peas, I decided to try saving my own seed last year and this has been very reasonable but when I planted the plants back in March , the very next day we had storm Katie. This almost blew them out of the ground but enough survived to amke best part of a row. As they came into flower I had bud drop plus a spell in hospital, this meant I had to let the plants go for about a week meaning bent stems. However when show day came I managed one vase of ten, these were good enough to bet best in show so I still hold the cup which I forst won 42 years ago. I have not had it every year but will keep trying.
