First one of the season opening. It has an amazing scent and very different flowers. If only I could remember if this one is heritage or ultimate mix. Oh well I shall just enjoy the flower. #sweetpea #scent #pinkandwhite

Most of them have now come up and seem to be doing well. @charliebailey03 you can see I managed to get some of these rolls pointy and up so they have unravelled slightly so I've had to move them.round so they support each other. But the roll the nasturtiums are fine as I got them ponty and down.

I'm sowing mine today, did you do 1 seed per roll?

@Denise16 yes I did. I also wrote what was in them on the roll but if you do make sure u use biro and also have other labels as they can become illegible

Is the little pointy bit supposed to be on the inside or outside?

@charliebailey03 It's on both. Its where the roll is wound up at one end the bottom of the curve is flat and at the other is a sharp pointing you look at this photo at the 6th roll from the right you can see that the top of the curl has a point. Sorry it's hard to explain.

As I couldn't get out in the garden yesterday and I finally have some potting compost. I put seeds in. These are 2 types of sweet peas. Old fashioned fragrance and ultimate mix sweet Pea both from @thompsonmorgan1855 . Bit late I know but didn't get round to it sooner 🤞they should be fine
