Re: My first year Sweet Peas..

This is normal behavior for sweet peas. They flower for a rather short
period. You can let the pods mature and plant the seed for next year.
Each year you do this the there will be less variety of colors because of
cross pollination. I have one area of sweet peas which have been self
seeding every year for the past 25 years. They are now all the same
color.
