Garden: Sweet Peas Update

Just a quick gardening update today. If you were reading my posts back in March you will have seen that I'd grown some sweet peas from seeds and I put them out in a few pots at the end of the month.
Well, with all the warm weather we've been having recently they have had a bit of a growth spurt! See the difference for yourself here. 

When I first planted the seedlings out I didn't have any long bamboo canes handy, so had to make do with some little ones that were lying around. Luckily, the other day we were on a hunt for a chimney-type barbecue with Arjan's mum, so we were going around some garden stores and I managed to pick up some canes along the way.
This is all a bit of an experiment for me and I've done what I can with what I've got. I haven't yet been tying the vines to the canes but they have been wrapping a few little tendrils around already. If you look closely on the 'after' picture you can see that I've made some additional climbing frame on the left pot out of string that is tied around the top of the canes and then pegged into the ground. I'm thinking of making more string supports by tying horizontal loops around the canes like steps of a ladder, but that's for a later date.
