Absolutely fantastic. I'd been watching lots of sweet pea videos and thought I had enough information to grow my seedlings successfully. But this is the most comprehensive video out there! You've covered so much more than others have mentioned. Thank you for sharing. (I'm also attempting banana plants from seed after being inspired by your back catalogue of videos 👍) Katie
Thanks, I'm glad you found my video so informative, good luck with your sweet peas and bananas. The bananas can be a little tricky as they need the varying daily temperatures, they can take over a month to germinate and the seeds need to be not too old. Some I find germinate very easily and other species I've had no germination from. The best for me were Musa sikkimensis and Ensete ventricosum.
Wow, so much more to growing sweet peas than I thought. Mine were absolutely beautiful. They germinated quick and grew to about eight inches in a week or less. I trimmed them off but apparently not as much as I should have. They grew tall and became leggy. It’s gotten worse from there. I planted them in my container and they have grown long but nothing has come of them. I sewed the seed in early march so I’d think I should have had blooms by now. This video is definitely what I needed to see before next year. Thanks
I see these growing wild on a hillside by my grocery store every year so I decided to grow them myself. Who knew how beautiful they can be when supported on a trellis? Thank You!
Helpful videos I planted some seeds that I collected from a shop bought plant over 11,12 years ago, and they have just started coming up. I'm gobsmacked, so I've purchased some new seeds just in case it goes petetong
Thanks I'm glad you found my video helpful. If your seeds germinated then they should grow just fine, the only issue with old seeds is whether they will germinate, but if they are up and the first few leaves look healthy then your plants should grow just fine this summer.
Absolutely the best tutorial on Sweet Peas start to finish, thank you. I grow mine in root trainers (3 seeds per trainer) I planted my Sweet Peas (Matucana) out yesterday around an obelisk. I decided not to divide so I have 4 points on the obelisk (6ft high) with 3 plants on each point. Is that too many do you think? Many thanks Tina (Dublin, Ireland ☘️)
Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed my tutorial. That sounds like more plants than you need, it won't be a problem, they will still grow fine, but you could save money by having less plants, or have more plants to plant elsewhere if you just had two per point. Root trainers are a good idea for sweet peas as they don't like thier roots being disturbed.
It depends on how many leaves they have, always make sure there is at least three leaves left on each stem after pruning. Even if a little tall and leggy you can still prune them down to encourage side branches.
They tend to grow slowly until they grab hold of something, then they shoot upwards. You can get bush varieties that don't need supports, but if a climbing variety has nothing to hold onto it tends to stay very small and doesn't flower much, or they grab onto each other and become a tangled mess.
@Gardeningat58N baby thank you cause the internet nit ^^#^# they just be making videos.... these things been small for a min.... I'm wrapping them around Cain they like no...... no no I'm like what the hell.... also because I planted late do greenhouse work to keep growing in winter I'm in 8a so we don't get snow... for real lowest around 32%
They will, reluctantly. They prefer something like natural string or raffia. They'll grow more vigorously up a 'bio' support. I suggest tying some string across your lattice. Long time sweet pea grower.

No long ramble intro, no music , just information. Thanks
Thanks, I try to keep my videos concise and without loud music, although sometimes I do ramble on for a while if I'm excited about a plant.

I think the trellis shows them off the best, and they smell amazing to.
That was an excellent video! Thanks so much for helping me cultivate more of my favorite flowers this year 👩🌾😍
Thanks, good luck with your sweet peas, I love the smell of them in summer.
This is the best video for SP
Thanks, I'm glad you think so, I hope it was helpful.
Very helpful
Can’t produce flowers
I will try this
Thank you so much

@@Gardeningat58N Many thanks, I will space out in more places in future 🙂
Excellent video. So detailed and informative. Many thanks. 👍🏻💕🇨🇦
Thanks a lot for very informative video
Thanks, I'm glad you found it informative, good luck with your sweet peas.
Brilliant info! Thanks ☘️ ❤😊
Thank you!! 😊
Hi .hope you good 😊can I still trim mine they are about 3 /4 inch tall ?

@@Gardeningat58N thanks
Thank you sir👍
Thank you, I have been trying to get the seeds to grow these but can not find any,
Brilliant thank you
Your video just maybe solve my whole damn issue!!!! I'm 8a frost 2 months from now you saying they want Bush out until the wrap around something

Do you put the plant under groelights
Will the tendrils attach to a metal grid lattice?
They will, reluctantly. They prefer something like natural string or raffia. They'll grow more vigorously up a 'bio' support.
I suggest tying some string across your lattice.

I hope the textured ceiling/wall is not the "popcorn" type that may contain asbestos - plz be careful.
Pity you can't count cards lol , would come in handy when playing BJ
good video - would be better if you spoke a little slower........
