... and I would just like to say thank you for the wonderful collection of seeds i got from the A4A get-together last year at Wallsall Road Allotments.I've planted some already and raring to go on the rest, One Dot Beans, Lebanese corgettes and I'll have a great wall of sweet peas this year thanks to the massive collection of seeds that Melbourne12 brought.It's going to be a good year!
Robert have the seeds arrived? goodlife , fancy any?
Hello everyone I'm not asking to join the seed circle this year because I'm not really well enough to do as much as I want but just to say I'm still around and visiting the site again. Main reason for posting is to say a huge thankyou for the seed parcel I received last year as a gift from Jayb. I had some wonderful tomatoes and chillies and beans and I've set off again this year although I have to move and downsize with a vengeance. However if any of you aren't sure, do join, its the most exciting package even if your yard isn't a real lottie and you can't use everything at once as most of the seed lasts for years.If I'm organized to save anything despite the 'for sale' sign going up I'll send in but I've rather stopped saving although not stopped planting- yet .Hope everyone has a good season Green Lily x
Yes indeed Ellen . There are a number of yummy salad plants in the greenhouse and under cloches from Melbourne12's magic plastic bag (thank you!) growing nicely that remind me of the get-together in Brum. And the kales from Goodlife have done very well too. Happy growing all!The Sugar Lord peas for the 2014 circle have sprouted. And so have the peas that were in our 2013 goodie bags. Fab!Jayb could you please make this a sticky?
After a duff first lot of seeds (donated & probably too old), my new rocoto seeds have germinated like they are rocket-fuelled! 6 out of 7 seeds up and unfurling in 9 days. Whoop!!My Kent Blues (which are being completely cossetted) are also up and in their second pots.
I think I may have seriously goofed just now. I planted up this year's peas and, quite by accident, I put 'Biskopens Graaert' next to 'Sugar Lord'. Oh dear - clergy next to aristocracy - I fear there will be fights! The surroundings should be pleasant enough with 'Court Estate Gold'. However 'Ne Plus Ultra', who is convinced there is none better than him and conceited 'Bijou' won't be any help at all. And embarrassed 'Elisabeth' will just flush pink. With 'Winterkefe' contributing to the icy atmosphere, it would not surprise me if 'Amish Snap' was the first one that could no longer keep a civil tongue! All may not be lost - there is gentle giant 'Mr Big' who could sort out any fisticuffs. 'Weggiser' (who hails from neutral Switzerland) could be negotiating between the warring parties. And there is all round good egg 'Golden Sweet' who is liked and admired by everybody.Will it be enough? Will there be peace? More importantly, will there be peas for the 2014 seed circle?
I'm afraid Mr Big is just all show and pretend with big 'guns'.. Well...I just received my little parcel from Nordic seed bank there is few peas to grow...hopefully some for the circle..some are Swedish and Norwegian origin...we might have right 'European 'song' contest going this year....Abba vs AHA... ...and if this Finnish 'Lordie' manage keep them going on well..we might have 'monster' party to share.. I can't quite tell what new peas I have yet...they literally arrived today and I haven't translated the seed info properly yet.....
