Sweet Peas by Phillip Kerton

Our first meeting of the Autumn season saw Phillip Kerton and his wife Joyce from Bridgwater visit the club to talk with a passion about sweet peas.

He gave a good crowd of members a history of how he started to grow sweet peas to show and then start his specialist nursery. He explained how he growed and cared for them and then arranged them at the various Flower Shows throughout the season including Chelsea.

After his talk he answered members questions about soil content and storing of seeds and other growing tips.
