You are correct that the heavy cloud cover keeps your temps mild. I'm a zone five in Michigan, US. We're currently at 19°F and 6 inches of snow on the ground. I love your snowdrops.

Happy birthday. I just wanted to drop a tip about growing sweetpeas from seeds. I struggled with them for ages, until I followed the directions on KZbin from a Danish gardener called Claus Dalby. He has an English language video on growing them throughout the summer. The long and short of it is that the seed coating on sweetpeas is particularly tough, so they either need soaking overnight before you plant them, or you need to rub them a bit with sandpaper to help the germ to sprout. Then, he recommends to pinch back the shoots once they have a certain number of leaves, to help them bush. Luckily, these trimmings will root easily as cuttings so you can quickly double your harvest. I got so many sweetpeas last year I was able to share posies with friends and neighbours.

[@charlenelindsay2019]

Hello Catherine, my Mother grew sweet peas in Iowa, USA and sometimes they wouldn't bloom until the second year of growth. They are so nice to enjoy. Hugs 💞

Hi, Catherine! Here in Buffalo, NY, we are BURIED in snow--and more on the way this weekend--so I am trying to force some bulbs in my windowsill for a little color until spring, which really doesn't start here until late March or well into April, depending on if Lake Erie has frozen solid. (If it hasn't, we will continue to get "lake effect snowstorms.") Your garden cleanup put me in a much better mood--happy Valentine's Day, and thank you! 🌹🌹🌹🌹🏠🏠🏠🏠🎉🎉🎉🎉💖💖💖💖

The more you cut zinnias and cosmos, the more they will produce, just like snapdragons. Just a little tip, for the sweet peas, Put a tomato cage in a large pots of soil, plant the seeds around the cage, and before long you can have a beautiful fragrant topiary on each side of an entrance.

I remember my grandmother grew them in her California garden and they were prolific! She had one grouping that grew in front of a bedroom window and I cherish the memory of sleeping in that room with the window open and the wonderful fragrance of sweet peas drifting through the window. I’ve given it much thought and have decided that it is my favorite childhood memory. I’ve tried many, many times to grow them in my gardens and I’ve never had any luck with them…but nevertheless, I keep trying.
