I so appreciate that you showed us the full cycle from seed to flower. Many videos get us started but we don't get to see the finished product. Thanks for taking the time to make a complete teaching video.

Just the video I was looking for. For a novice gardener and first time sweet pea grower, it was perfect. Very comprehensive and just the right amount of time. I will be following you for more. Thank you ever so much.

Love the greenhouse and cinematography in this. The Gardner is really cool

[CelticSpirit]

Thank you! I bought some plants yesterday and was feeling a bit unsure what to do with them...ie size of pot, snipping pods etc and this has helped enormously. 😊

I have just found you (thanks to the mysterious YouTube fairies!) I checked out some of your other videos and found them useful, so I have subscribed. Helen sounds like she's from my neck of the woods! Cheers from Oz! 🦘

I really like that cane frame. I cant find it on your website.

You have cleared all my queries regarding sweet peas plantation..thanks

[josiebridges]

I did a hard pruning with my peach tree and the branches will make good pea trellises plus a bonus of peach blossoms.

[JamesAnderson-feyu]

Excellent video, thanks Helen! Answered all my queries.

Thank you for your helpful videos, I will be trying this method with the deep root trainers this week.

[bevfast]

great video! thankyou so much! side question: where did you get those fantastic windows in your garden shed?

[Happy-lkyr]

Those deep Root Trainers are great!!!!they don't usually have Them in Garden Centers unfortunatly!

[erbliving]

Thank you for sharing... I especially love the you shared the continually training and growing!!! some people just plant and move on which does not show if whatever worked, or the final outcome! I, like someone else who mentioned on here, would love to have the source for the cane supports. In US and I cannot find anything like them! and I do not like the plastic ones now sold... but I cannot find them anyway, anywhere.

Thank you! A very clear, concise and enjoyable video. Great sweet peas. This is my first year growing a packet from seed which came free with my birthday flowers. Thank you!

i have planted sweeet peas for the 1st time this year. im so excited to grow them this year! i was so worried about growing them with a young child as she will walk throiught the allotment/garden and eat freely. now she is older and we have a flower garden ill pop them in there and im much less worried about growing them.
