Topic: Dud seed

[Robert_Brenchley]

I've had some problems with the pea seed I saved last year. It was in the wettest of the weather and I suspect I didn't dry some of it adequately, as some has rotted. I've got good germination of some varieties, others are going to produce just enough plants to do a better job of seed saving this year! Overall though, I've got plenty. The only one I've had to buy in has been Ne Plus Ultra.

We lost some of our saved peas for the first time ever..  :-\

What did you lose?

[saddad]

A few pots rotted off but we hadn't sown them all out and the newer sowings seem to have come through... both direct in the ground and in pots so we haven't "lost" any varieties...  :)

On 23rd April I sowed a block of Endeavour along with Maro peas and a load of beans and there is an empty block where the Endeavour should be.  :-\ :-\ :-\ :-\  Everything else is through and healthy.

I've found an Irish site which does Magnum Bonum (and plenty of other interesting looking veg) and takes Paypal. So no problems.

I have had a good year so far, with 90% or so on everything I have sown, apart from Nantes carrots, I got 0% from them from an entire packet.
