Seed Saving Circle 2021
galina:
Big wave to MarkfieldRover and Vetivert. Hangman's door is growing extremely fast and the generous number of blood red purple pods are filling nicely already. Senposai is proving to be a very nice 'green', we have been picking individual cabbagey leaves for the kitchen for a month now. Unfortunately the slugs love them too. Great 'hungry gap' crop. Will try my best to save seeds for future years.
galina:
Forgot to mention the super lettuces from 3 sources. Well here is a picture of my lunchtime lettuce plate.
JanG:
Yes, I second your appreciation of the lettuces. I’m looking forward, in the next day or two, to the first harvest of some impressive looking heads of White Seeded Samara
galina:
Joy this morning, at long last the nasturtium has 'pepe'd out of the soil. Did not appreciate that it could take such a long time, but clearly it does. The foliage is very dark. Excited, as I had given up on it.
JanG:
It’s a lovely dark leaf, isn’t it? I grew it last year and again this year from my own saved seed. This year I’ve gone rather overboard with different nasturtiums so imagine I won’t be able to save it as a pure variety again but hopefully it will share its dark-leaved genes liberally.
