Sweet peas can be sown in October to ensure early flowering in 2021.  Autumn sowings have more time to grow bigger and develop better root systems before planting – and therefore produce more flowers. However, they require winter protection, eg coldframe and cannot be planted out until all frosts have ended.

Seeds are available from (among others) Matthewmans – David Matthewman was booked to talk to us at our October meeting.
