Hi, I have just moved into a new house and the sweet peas have now
stopped flowering. They are standing around 3 feet high and I'm not
sure if I need to pull the entire plant out, or cut them down.
Any advice would be great..
Thanks
Ruby :)

Really, you need to know if you have the annual or perennial sweet
peas. Annuals would be looking a bit tatty by now, may have a bit of
mildew, whereas (here at least) the leaves of the perennials ones are
still quite fresh looking and green. If in doubt, take a photo and put
it on something like Photobucket and post the link to it.

You say that, Sacha, but my annual sweet peas have just put in another huge
growth spurt! I have new branches of leaves all over the show! It's been a
/really/ funny year this year.

Ours turned horrible and were pulled up two or three weeks ago. A funny
year just about covers it! The perennial ones have fresh looking
brightly coloured leaves and look wonderful.
