sweet peas in pots
There is no room in my little garden for sweet peas. But I'd like to try growing them in pots. Any advice on how it's done most welcome. Particularly, the right size of pot. The seeds which came with the magazine have now germinated . Sweet peas by northchiel

New flowers to recommend
'. It's easy to grow, and great in a patio pot. But what about those you've grown this year? Have you grown any new varieties from seed this year? How did they perform? Would you grow them again? Whether your favourites were sweet peas, hardy annuals by Adam Pasco

Protecting plants from frost
Hi, This may be a daft question but I'm quite new to gardening and have planted a lot of things for the first time e.g. sweet peas.  I'm worried about frosts which have been damaging to some of the new growth on my clematis plants in recent weeks so by Abby2

veg suitable for shade.
. brassicas and spinach, lettuce and it's varients will do ok, but not their best, leeks again will do ok. You can grow lettuces and salad leaves, leafy veg such as spinach, chard, broccoli and brussels sprouts, and peas and beans. But not in full shade, OK by Sue H

Sweat pea -disaster
After 17 days of germinated no sweet peas were showing. So I decided to have a furtle and see what was to be had. Nothing is the answer!!! I went through the compost with a fine tooth comb (not literally!) and couldn't even find the seed by * Red Dahlia *

Ideas for planters on patio?
mix of dianthus and lavendar?  I'm sure the smell would be lovely as well as looking good. My favourite for planters and children are, tomatos, peas and strawberries. If your planters are big enough YELLOW courgettes.This way they can see things grow by LucyLocket5

Sweet peas
Hi all- this is the first year I have grown sweet peas from seed and so far quite good results. I planted them in biodegrade able 2 inch pots about 2 weeks ago and after sprouting they've been outside in day and in a plastic greenhouse at night by Jigsaw Gill
