Garden: Sweet Peas

I've always had an interest in gardening, since I was young I've loved flowers and watching things grow. Last year, in mine and Arjan's old flat, I decided to get some potted herbs for our kitchen windowsill, basil and chive were my favourites. I then got a small window box and planted a lobelia at one end and some radish seeds at the other, along with a sweet pepper plant that never really did much.
When we talked about moving to the Netherlands I started dreaming of finding a place with a small garden or outdoor space that I could grow my own vegetables in.
Now that we're still living with Arjan's parents I didn't want to miss out entirely on the growing season, so I bought a little packet of sweet peas and a seed tray and got planting!

They have done beautifully until now with only a small number of the seeds not sprouting. Arjan and I have come back to York for the next two weeks to house/brother sit whilst my parents are in America with my sister, so before we left I knew I would have to get the seedlings into something a little bigger.
Sadly I couldn't find any taller bamboo canes and Oma had just given her's to her brother-in-law for his beans, so these smaller ones will have to be a temporary solution for them until we get back.
Right now I'm just keeping my fingers crossed that nothing disastrous happens while I'm away!

I'm still dreaming of that little garden, but for now these will do just fine and hopefully in a couple of months we will have beautiful, sweet-smelling flowers in abundance!
