Smell of fresh sweet peas in the house just cannot be replicated

Peter Dowdall on two scents which offer such a sweet aroma... who wouldn’t want summer in a vase.

Every year, no matter how long the winter and how much time I have to get ready for the season ahead, there’s always at least one (and normally several) jobs that I don’t get around to in time.

This year it was my sweet pea seeds. I like to start them off in September in small pots on my kitchen windowsill.
