Sweet peas remind me of everything nice. I think of summer as a care-free kid and my mums loved garden. I will probably insist on having a substantial planting of sweet peas every year from now on, there’s no excuse not to. This year my planting was beset with many challenges, the most being the slugs that thwarted the early days and then the endless rain at the beginning of summer. But it all worked out.. a lesson I need to learn involving not worrying so much.

This year I only planted one variety, the classic Royal family mix. Next year I will branch out .. sophisticate my operation.

I hope to plant a cutting garden at the farm, something separate entirely from the food growing aspect, with ducks living in it.
