The recent warm weather has certainly spurred on the plant growth and the
weeds but I was delighted to pick my first few sweet peas today. They have
been in the ground all winter from self sown seeds and are pink with a
beautiful scent.

Yes Sacha i have and they are lovely but some of Roger Parson's old
