Another sweet pea question?
take the pods off unless you want to get seed for next year,you will get more flowers if you take the pods off.
Reply:It is normal, but if you want more flowers you must take off all the dead flowers
Reply:You should pinch the flowers off after they have gone past their best as the plant puts its energy into making the pods, rather than more flowers! Extend the flowering time by doing this and you'll have more flowers to enjoy.
Reply:Do you mean are they supposed to get pods? yes, and it's dissapointing that the flowers don 't last longer.....
Reply:Yes they are meant to have pea pods on them.....they have the new seeds in them! You can either leave them on the plant and they'll naturally dry out, split and scatter seeds on the ground for next year or you can wait until they go really brown and dry and pick them off (just before they split) to save until spring when you can sow them yourself. They take longer than you expect to dry out but keep an eye on them!





As for the flowers, if you cut the flowers (put indoors in little vases) it encourages the plant to flower even more! Don't cut them all off though, you want some left outside to look at!!!
Reply:yes that is normal
