Hi folks, my update is as followsMy polish french beans are growing in their pods nicely, i never know when to pick beans that i am trying to save seeds from so any advice will be greatly received.
I forgot something - the Sunnybrook Peppers. Well confession time. I grew these up at the plot - and NADA, I mean miserable looking plants, only a few fruit and they were tiny, and worthless. Getting the picture ?!Meanwhile, the Napia Pointy Peppers growing in pots in the garden have been splendid, lovely fruit, sturdy looking plants, tasty etc. BUT they've been grown alongside the chilli plantsSo as per my mantra "next year" I'll only be growing the Napia, both in the garden and on the plot, and maybe with some isolation cages
I wonder is that why none of my chillies seem very hot?? I grew the chillies and the peppers side by side in Pots and none of the chillies are hot, they'res a small bit hotter than the sweet peppers but thats it! :(
Galina on the other hand are ripening very well and I expect to prep the first batch of seeds in a week or so.
Mix of success here; I lost a fair amount of heritage beans due to Aminopyralid, and am not using any of these for seed saving or swapping; as i don't want anyone to get dodgy beans from me. However;Tender and True Parsnips; got a bag, a bucket and a shoebox all drying out. Chantenay Carrot - got 4 head dried and loads more to come Bleu de Solaise Leek; got about 10 heads all flowered and will be left on hoping for a dryish autumn I've got more to come, but those are the main ones with any actual news.
Sounds good AJ. Sorry to hear about the beans. Do you think there may even still be Aminopylarid residues in seeds? Your other seeds sound very good. I love Chantenay Carrots and they do good on my clay soil as well.Do we send all our prepared seed envelopes to one central distributor, together with a large padded envelope and enough postage to receive our share from the Circle? Or do we send out 14 envelopes to all the participants?
