Growing Sweet Pea...advice re : support

applehunter · 2012-05-07 17:14:27

Have sweet pea all ready to be planted (trench dug & filled) but want to get support sorted before I do. Last summer I had 5 feet high timber and mesh but the sweet pea grew to over 6 feet meaning that it ended up sagging. Any suggestions on where I can get timber + mesh that would be high enough:?

You don't have to let the sweet pea grow higher than you want it. Nip out the tips as it approaches being big enough and it will grow bushier.
