Bon Bon is a hybrid variety. Please don't save seeds from hybrids, they will not breed true. You can dehybridise a hybrid, but that takes at least 6 years. Both Tuffy and Thelma Sanders are outstanding varieties. It does happen that someone in the circle already has seeds of a variety you offer. Can't be helped. In some cases a new 'injection' of seeds from another source can be very beneficial to help broaden the genetic base of seed stocks we hold. This is a good thing, and allows comparing the two batches, before mixing the old and new seeds, or keeping them separate if appropriate.
Ohhh...how nice looking flowers..something to eyes to feast on as well.. ;DI don't know if any of you have tried bolivian coriander..I've got some coming to flower..that could be one possibility for seed saving..any thoughts?I had some other night with the stirfry...ohh..lovely..really fragrant flavour..strong but no bitter or lingering after taste.. ;D..and soo easy to grow and no worries for it bolting..still plenty of leaves to use as you only need small quantities at the time.
My Mayoral Blue squash are struggling, the weather here is red hot now ,before the rain was defeating us, they are growing but not as I would like to see them so fingers crossed, this is the last of the very rare seeds.On a good point the limas and soya beans are doing excellent so I think everyone should be OK on those.XX Jeannine
