Huw Richards: An Ode To Sweet Peas | Growing, Arranging & Appreciating



This year I was inspired to really go for it when it comes to sweet peas, and so here is a video to highlight this truly wonderful cut flower which will forever be a part of my gardening.

    I still remember how disappointed I was when I learned the sweet peas my roommate were growing weren't edible. Why call them sweet peas!!! Years later I've finally gotten over my bitterness and now grow them because I love the scent and they're beautiful.

    Thanks Huw!
    I have grown sweet peas for the first time, this year, and am amazed at how well they've done.
    I adore the scent when I open the front door in the mornings & when the warm sunshine draws out the scent in rippling swells 😊

    Sweet peas are such a lovely old-fashioned flower. On the farm they were grown on the fenceline between the house and the septic field. They were left to reseed themselves every year.

    Thank you, sweet peas are a real favourite, I grow them amongst my poppies, sunflowers and ipomeas, as well as my wildflower mix!
    I like to have a wide veriety of kinds of flowers, for the different pollinators!!
    In between my fruit and veggies, they look and smell wonderful!!

    Thanks so much Huw for this amazing video. I love the poetry in the words and the priceless views of your beautiful sweet peas. I’ve been nursing a cold at home and this is such an uplifting gift. I have indeed harvested joy from your garden ❤😊🎉 May God bless you as you continue to be a blessing to others.

    So glad you reminded me to grow sweet peas. I always used to but since moving homes, i havent allowed for them in my smaller garden. I am so happy to remedy this.

    How do you make sweet peas continue to have long stems over the season? I started to cut off tendrils and side shoots, leaving just a single cordon and got lots of lovely long stemmed flowers. As the season progressed though the stems seemed to get shorter anyway. Perhaps I didn't keep on top of it! Thanks for all your interesting efforts. Very enjoyable.

    🌼 So lovely — like breathing with nature.
    I’ve been posting similar quiet moments — geese walking slowly, chickens clucking softly, and fish below the green shade.
    🌿 You’re warmly invited anytime.

    I absolutely adore sweet peas, my mum always used to grow them and for the last three years I've grown them myself – every time, they grow well and I get a gorgeous harvest for one or two vase fulls, I dead head regularly, but then the leaves go yellow and die – I don't know if I'm over watering or under watering, but I just don't seem to be able to keep them alive!

    Hi Huw. You once promoted portable battery that cloud be charges with solar power. What was the brand called? And would you also recommend it today?

    Thanks for this. Before I had my own garden my mother in law always had a garden full of flowers that she tended to every day. There were sweet peas, nasturtiums, marigolds of multiple types, lilies,lavenders and many more. This is what inspired me to have a lovely garden full of greenery and flowers. I did get the growing veggies from my wonderful Grandad. Blessings Susie

    I grew loads of sweet peas this year as I kept thinking they weren't doing very well so whacked some more in! I had some beautiful fragrant blooms that I thrust upon many an unsuspecting fellow gardener at the allotment. Now I know that I am very fashionable as Huw Richards is recommending them too. Go me! ❤🎉❤

    trying to save my sweet peas from a massive attack of aphids in this heatwave though… we had a beautiful flush of flowers then the dry weather came and now I've been trying to get rid of the infestation of aphids, feeding the plants and watering them a lot to make sure they don't dry out, wish me luck. I hope they recover soon
