Hate to tell you this Matt, but bush training and integration into borders is nothing new. Maybe for you, but traditional ways for sweet peas in England include these methods. Also, there are literally many sites with info about sweet peas and growing (mostly British, of course).

But, they are fun—-and although I have been growing them for many years, I never tire of reading about them and watching others discover how amazing they are. Be sure and let us know what varieties you are growing; there are some truly superb choices in all colour families. I do hope you try Ethel Grace, Lilac Ripple, and Gwendoline.

On this side of the world we are bust bedding our gardens down for winter and trying hard not to over-indulge in chocolate!
