Grandpa's cress is a land cress , it's from HSL , it's very easy to grow with a great flavour I will now grow it instead of rocket. I think viola plants see me coming , ripe seeds ... now you see them now you don't ... but I have plenty to share . Ipomoea Tutu, the first few flowers are the standard sort but as the plant grows the show begins, fingers crossed they come true .

I shall for one be very happy to receive your land cress seeds. I was just this week reflecting on the fact that for a few years I'd relied on land cress to self-seed but that it now seems to have finally died out, and all my saved seed is old now.
And the Ipomoea and Viola much looked forward to too.

This is the isolated/handpollinated Golden Marbre that I cut up earlier this year.  It was grown last year, but too late for the seed circle.  It is producing true offspring from a few seeds I used this year to verify that handpollination.  A candidate for the seed circle.

Here is the Early Prolific Straightneck Squash also growing this year.  This fruit is isolated/handpollinated and I hope its seeds will be ready in time for the circle distribution.

Just noticed that RealSeeds retail this too, but a different strain of it.  Mine were from Denali Seeds in Alaska, bought when getting seeds from the USA was still widely possible some twenty years ago.  This strain has the number 353, but its history also goes back nearly 90 years. 

Here are both urls, first RealSeeds
