[@evanthiel8087]

I know this video was done 3 years ago... but I wanted to thank you for this video...Big hugs from here... ❤ I became a big fan of Mr. Seaton...🤭

[@trevordickson8617]

This was a wonderful find. Thanks for this time with Ron. I think I bought some of his chrysanthemums many years ago. More time with gardeners & plantsmen like him please.

Best straight forward gardening video I've watched.

[@bowzerdude5646]

I love the no nonsense approach that comes from experience! He's not messing around with propergation trays!

[@wwfarmhouse9055]

Great video. I am going to give sweet peas a crack. Loved Ron and all his knowledge and loved your bright and happy style Melissa. Very helpful Thanks 😊

[@sunny.coast.girl.]

Thanks Ron & Melissa… this vid just popped up in my feed… great info and answered a lot of my probs growing sweet peas.

[@ignaciaforteza7731]

Thank Ron. How beautiful to watch your knowledge. Love sweet peas but I’m just starting for my own enjoyment… your gift to all of us lovers is simply pure generosity

[@trt2127]

By far the most informative on how to grow sweet pea.I have my first lot growing now.Hopefully I can master the art.What a true gem Ron is.

[@JamieW-o7b]

My Spencer seeds are in their pots now, and thanks to Ron's advice....I expect a gold at the Chelsea flower show!!!! UK

[@geoffl.2293]

Many thanks Ron for explaining the feeding procedure, as this is my first attempt at growing Sweetpeas. I appreciate your help. And Melissa you are a cutie for putting this video together for us. Thank you

Lovely lady Melisa , Respectful of her elder -😀 so nice to see.

[@vont8332]

Absolutely wonderful video. Thank you. As a keen gardener who emigrated from the UK 14 years ago, this is fantastic information. Learning and adapting to Aussie conditions every year. Beats a cold greenhouse in England and sowing my sweet pea seeds in toilet roll tubes 😂 More videos with the priceless knowledge from Ron would be amazing.

[@vont8332]

Pleased to say that I had a magnificent display of sweetpeas last year, thanks to this video ❤

[@brigettescottageplants946]

Brilliant thank you so very much. Terrific Blooming content and made me feel like I was with you there. Loved it. 😍

[@jam4441]

Just lovely , so special having such a wonderful gentleman offer his knowledge from many years of planting . Great Australians sharing knowledge -thank you so much. I truly hope you relationship with Ron continues to bloom. I would love know the story behind some of those photos on the wall in his shed...The Lynn Seaton flower for instance. Such a treasure.

[@karenstringfellow4862]

Thanks Ron and Melissa. I am going to have a go this year at growing them.

[@marylou3995]

Thank you for a very informative program.

[@karenlouisepresent1273]

Thank you so much Melissa & Ron. I love sweet peas, my Pop used to grow mountains of them. I haven't grown them for a few years but am going to again this year & am going to follow every one of these tips especially as I'm in High Wycombe so conditions will be exactly the same.

[@alexandertsiolkovski5848]

Wait, what??!! Just one video on your channel? I wanted to see more gardening stuff. You do a great job of getting information out to the viewers.

[@rachelgamer3363]

Great advice. So nice to have tips for Australia (You both should be on Gardening Australia). Thank you.

[@junecopley5993]

Love seeing the 'knowledge' being passed on and shared. Thanks Ron, I'm going to run out in the morning and nip mine out and feed them up, only mistake was planting at the back of a bed with hydrangeas and they're acid lovers I think, so next year I'll plant differently. Many thanks and hope to catch you both at one of the shows later in the year.

[@melcee22]

June Copley hopefully we will see you at the Kelmscott show!

[@rogehnimunoz4327]

This is such a great video for novice like me. Thank you.

[@pierresirois2685]

You are a good interviewer

[@edstraker8451]

Thanks for this, Melissa. We're in Darwin and I really want to give this a crack. We have another 4-5 months of coolish weather to get a result.

[@lornafleur123]

I love him ! Blessings X X hope he is still with us bless his heart !! ❤️😘🌟

[@lisawrobel2980]

Brilliant video! Thank you so much 💐

[@markseaton4893]

Great video. I can see a whole series getting made here. Chrysies, Iris, xmas light displays ;-)

[@poppyrex1411]

i've got my bunnings seeds in hand and i'm coming for your title Ron! How gorgeous are both of you.

[@michelelara5982]

Very good advice from a seasoned gardener. I didn't soak or knick the seed. I hope mine do well

[@td2926]

Very informative, you should do more of these!

[@lennymac5915]

Well I hit a winner when I came searching for Sweet Pea advice. What a great team you make, and such a delightful gentleman. You can't beat decades of knowledge! I'm curious if the planting time would be the same in Melbourne. Is the whole planting by St. Patricks day and bit of an old wives tale?

[@melcarling]

Lindyjanemac Mac I think you should be fine! Basically you want them in before the weather turns cold so the very start of autumn weather I think

[@lennymac5915]

@@melcarling Thanks Melissa. I was a bit disappointed when I only found one video. It was really enjoyable, although I'm sure lots of work behind the scenes.

[@Lee-Anne-ow3uo]

Great advice,thank you 😊

[@daiseegray9110]

I hope you had a great sweet pea crop! My favorite plant!

[@lynetteseaton8844]

Well done Mel Ron loves it

[@kellywilliams3735]

Very insightful. I grew my very first sweet pea this year. Had no idea what I was doing and was surprised when they started to grow up when spring almost hit. I had a heap of flowers grow and it look stunning. But now the plant is going brown and have have noticed little pods growing on there. I'm not sure what to do now. Maybe start fresh again in April.

[@melcarling]

Kelly Fitness once the pods are really dry, collect the seed and plant them next year! They only grow once a year. Glad you had success this year!

[@kellywilliams3735]

@@melcarling thanks Melissa. I've just noticed that more flowers and pods are growing so I'm taking some of the flowers to put inside in a small glass and hooefully more flowers will come up. However some new seedlings have suddenly appeared too. So half of the plants are brown, the tops are green with flowers and pods on them (some pods are brown) but new plant is shooting from the soil. What do you suggest I do? Leave it or start fresh after collecting seeds once brown?

[@melcarling]

Kelly Williams just leave them. Stop picking the flowers. Let them all set to seed. Don’t be too fussy or worry about the shoots at the bottom

[@peaketraining8812]

Ohh, so cute 😍

[@cqammaz53]

Let me know when you have some of his showcasing seed available. I'm interested in starting growing my own showing sweet peas

[@ianmcculloch8531]

M8d September, on the Copper Coast, South Australia and my Old Spice sweetpeas are still without flowers or any sign of flowers coming. They were planted as seeds by mid April. Id like to know if they have they failed please?

[@piperdaryle1382]

I love it! Thank you!

[@cqammaz53]

I don't have chickens Can I use rabbit manure?

[@eikoqdupree101]

Sir we would love to see all your lovely SWEET PEAS , And thier wonderful COLORS.⚘

[@joannesmith3991]

i live in theuk i bought some sweet peas but it dosent say on the packet when to sow , can you help

[@meep2576]

I love sweet pea ❤️

[@cqammaz53]

What was the thing he added to the soil before planting the sweet peas?

[@TheYoghurt42]

Dynamic lifter, garden lime, and super phosphate.

[@Gusvideo999]

And manure rooted and matured

[@sandrafraser8120]

Hi Mellissa, I live in Queensland will Sweet Peas grow here?..Thank you for your video.

[@melcee22]

Yes they should! Can’t see why not! Give it a crack!

[@harumiayame8586]

What sweet pea variety would survive in tropical weather like hawaii?

[@melcarling]

I’m not sure. Perhaps you could try and see how they go.

[@liesel4164]

Hi Melissa, I am interested in purchasing some seed if available?

[@melcarling]

Hi Liesel, are you in Perth?
