SWEET

The first of this year's sweet peas. I am bewildered by the ease with which I grow sweet peas, coupled with complete failure at growing edible ones. Could it be because I always start the sweets in pots, whereas I sow the edible ones straight into the ground?

I'm told older people need less sleep.  I look forward to that happening.  We had delightful overnight guests and stimulating conversation, with the result that I slept for less than four hours and went around for the rest of the day like a zombie.
