The sweet peas are getting into their stride now. They are scented and so delightful and they make me smile every day.
My favourite way to display them is in small chunky bottles outside on my garden table. They may look fragile and delicate but I find they survive anything the weather throws at them. This week’s batch have looked good in hot sunshine and cool pouring rain.
Flower farmers will tell you that they’re not worth growing because they take so much time and effort that you could be putting into something else more lucrative but I couldn’t be without them here. They are incredibly demanding but they feed my soul and if I can sell a few along the way and spread the happiness a bit, then they’re worth it, don’t you think?
If you’re local to me in Brimpton, West Berkshire, England, you can order a bunch via my website shop.
