Labels were 'vandalised'. Choice is :

Cabbage - 2 types.
Calabrese. No 1, because it's the odd man out?
Sprouts - 2 types.
PSB. Most likely No 6 because of purply stems?

Good thinking, that girl!!

Can't wait to see - spacing is all important. And plot-clearing time.

I wonder how many of us would have to put our hand up.
Me for one,I still have 6 plants that could be squash,courgettes, melons, cukes or pickling cukes .

The only thing I am sure of is that they are not water melons.

The only one I knew was the PSB! :-[ If it makes you feel better Tim, my darling daughters decided to have the labels away out of my pumpkins and squashes. They went in today at the lottie. The only upside was I planted one in green pots and the other in black for just this situation so at least whatever they are they are together. ::)
