Allotments 4 All

I'm not sure whether anyone is still following this thread but I want to put out my concern about the sweetcorn seed I contributed. I had only about 30-40 plants and after more reading realise that's rather short of the recommended numbers for avoiding inbreeding depression.
Older and wiser now but I'm sorry to send in seed which could well produce below par results.

If in doubt could be grown as micro salad !

Thank you for letting members know, now they can decide how to use them.

Sorry, I think I am still in hibernation mode. Glad they all made it safe and sound and thanks for for letting us know about the sweetcorn.

I have now started a thread for the 2020 circle https://www.allotments4all.co.uk/smf/index.php?topic=82679.msg832041#msg832041 feel free to join whenever and drag some others in as well

I am in the process of update the website, so if you have any pics or info on your seeds could you please let me have it?

Sent a PM with descriptions of the varieties I sent. Thanks 

Sorry. I missed this. I'll aim to put together some notes in the next few days.

So with the 'Anna Russian Rogue - Unknown Plum' tomato seeds I included for 2019, expect some variation. These were an off-type, either a cross or from contaminated seed in a packet of commercial 'Anna Russian' oxheart tomato. Much smaller and earlier. I've planted only 5 for this season. The seedlings all look different. One is particularly purple in the stem and leaf veins. Whether this is the initial cross segregating or whether the rogue crossed further in my plot (or a combination of the two) I do not know. They were planted next to 'Black Beauty' so it is possible a bee had something to do with this. Though I didn't note either variety having an exerted stigma.

If anyone is growing them this year I'd love to know what you find.
