Help please as it is now time for planting out.


A very traditional method of growing sweet peas. what they are telling you
is that they have run out of grub and want planting.

Give them a good soak in water and then plant out. I'd leave the ubes in
place, but you could *carefully* slit them in a couple of places before
planting to give the roots an easy way out.

Water well and watch out for slugs & snails. Enjoy the flowers.
