Are your sweet peas poor this year?

mine only half usual height

Are your sweet peas poor this year?
No but I think its because I planted them out in march!. There over six foot high now and I've been cutting flowers from them for the past week or so. I just watered them as the weather warmed up and they shot up a few days later. Although I wont need to water them of late as all the rain we've had up here in Bolton.
