Today’s cheerful flower marks the start of the sweet pea season in my garden.

Several of the varieties in my Gardening Trials are now in flower but this was the first to appear. It’s one of a number given to me by English Sweet Peas whose RHS Chelsea display was one of the highlights of the show for me (read about it here).
