I don't know if that's because the post is now pinned.
So I will unpin it for today, see if you can do what you want to do then let me know.
Just to say that I did get the PM and I have good intentions :glasses9: that's not translated into any action yet though.
I'm quite busy this week, hopefully next.
THE pigeon is on his way with a lot of goodies:Urfa peper is a turkish peper famous for his dried form but also very nice fresh,looks like a sweet peper,tastes like a sweet peper with a little heat.
Than i have a black broad bean called black russian,looks nice and tastes nice.
Two tomatoes: Bison who is a determinate(dwarf) red tomato and purple smaragd a plum shaped brown with green flames coloured tomato.Tastes sweet for a tomato.
Two beans: Garden of eden is a pole bean who can used as a young green or as a dry bean.
Cyrus green who is a dwarf bean used as a green beab,snap bean.I hope that my contribution will encourage diversity.Have a nice weekend.
All packed and ready to go, but slight CONUNDRUM :tongue3:
Have re-issued dwarf/semi-climbing French Bean, Ice Crystal Wax (I last distributed in 2010), on account of being so impressed with it the last three years, especially this year in the heat. Plus, it's such an unusual one in a number of ways, which I will explain later...
However, in 2016/17 I was plagued by the bean weevils. It was grown on a distant/different part of the plot and I have seen no evidence of infestation anywhere. Have also left some somewhere warm to see if anything emerged - no signs.
But, I am worried, just in case. Perhaps people could isolate them from their other beans just in case or chuck them in the bin if they're really worried. I'll put a warning on the packets. If they do emerge they nibble through the plastic packets - yuk!
Oo-er. I am happy to give them a bash and keep an extra special eye on them whilst in my care.
Should I include them or not?
I’m very excited to receive the Taunton Deane kale cuttings as I’ve been on a waiting-list to buy these for some time. Special thanks, Penedesenca, for those.
Fascinated too by the Caffrey’s Oats. How do you use them, Penedesenca?
How did you start your Japanese Wineberries, Earlypea? Any tips?
I had a surprise package today with a lot of goodies.Thanks to everbody who put in there goodies.I am especially glad of the seakale seeds i found in the package.I had them a long time on my wishlist.Also thanks for the tubers and cuttings,oh so illeagal but i love it.Have a nice weekend everybody.
A quick peak inside the plastic bag shroud at my fig cuttings and this is the fig today. Oh I do hope this means that there are roots developing too. :icon_cheers:
(BTW, I do know about freezing, but since some last year turned to mush I am reticent. I am not in charge of the freezer!)
No, it's fine - I'll give it a go. I've got lots saved so it won't matter if it goes wrong again with just small quantities..
Varieties I’m less sure about
* Ice Crystal Wax DFB. It was very early which was great and unusual in colour but seems to go tough very quickly. I wonder whether that was the experience of anyone else. It produced masses of seed/dried beans though. Just read your comment that it freezes well, Earlypea. Must try it again for that purpose
