No seeds here yet, but the post around here has 'issues'.

Thank you both for extra info.  Don't worry sunloving.  With the extra screening and Biquinho being a capsicum chinense and the other two capsicum annuum (afaik), crossing is not likely at all.

Have updated the 'mini catalogue' a bit further also with info added throughout the year.

By no means yet complete, (still need to write info on some of my varieties), but starting to come together  :wave:

Hope they resolve them!  Slow on the way out and on the way back is too bad.   :BangHead:

I sowed half the toms and chillies yesterday, so lovely to see photos of what's to come!
Going to need a well partitioned pea bed and some good supports. Can't wait to grow Lancashire lad after reading so much about it. Might try it in the poly as an early.
Hooray! X sunloving

Jayb sent a pm yesterday.  I am just off to post her seeds etc.  So we are all done and dusted with the seed circle for this year. 

The propagator is on here too and I am just sticking peas into little pots for transplanting in about a month.

Now really looking forward to growing and later tasting all the goodies and some that had to be held over from last year.   :icon_cheers:

Good growing all  :wave:

Oh yes :sunny:  here too.  The first peas are germinating and Magnolia Blossom won the race.   :icon_cheers:

I have put more information into our mini catalogue and sorted a few hyperlinks too, but some of Ruud's tomatoes have me stumped - can't find any information.  Help Ruud!  Please have a look and let me know any wrong or missing info too so we can put it right and any further photos are also very appreciated.

Thank you galina for the info , a good read , I will do my best to get plenty of Purple Lancashire Lad seeds out there . This circle is proving a good source of perennial veg and I think that is important .

That's looking brilliant Galina,
I'm excited about all these fab new varieties.
Just need to build a conservatory on the side of the house for the tender seedlings waiting for late spring!
Going to sow the peas in the poly this week yippee.

Was thinking to grow out some of jeannines giant tom varieties for next year to soup up the largest tomato contest as we didn't make it to 700g last year!  Might be a battle with the blight again though to get the giants to ripen! X sunloving

Yes the Babington leeks are coming into their own at the moment.  And the perennial leeks are germinating well.  Goodlife said they would not flower and if they did, the seeds would be tiny and non-viable, but they are coming up fine.  Hope for others too.

Giant roo is an very rare australian tomato.It grows very tall and need staking.Big red blunt heart shaped tomatoes,who can grow to a weight between 500-1000 grams.
Zaitska is a red tomato from russia,big plants with a great crop of middle seized all use tomatoes.It was one of my favourites last year.Both tomatoes are better off in a greenhouse.

So sorry I missed this! I did save some peas but I've been ill and haven't been able to do very much - unfortunately all thoughts of gardening went completely out of my head and I'm only now starting to feel a bit more like myself again. Typical I miss all the fun perennials! ;)

Never mind though. if anyone wants a few Telephone peas just let me know, otherwise I can put them in next year's circle.

So sorry to hear Hector,  thank you for your kind wishes and hope that 2017 will be good to you also.  :wave:



Can I just say a huge thanks to Galina/ kindness of sending me surprise of some seeds. This has been a very dark and sad time for our family and it was much appreciated.

Happy Growing season to you all.
Jackie

Are we doing one this year? I am getting into peak sowing time at the moment. Loving the start to this season and I hope it continues as nicely.
