Allotments 4 All

Great selection Vetivert, thank you.  Is Duobao f1 or open pollinated?  Looking forward to exhibition winning extra long Stenner.  The radish is dual harvest with edible tops too, according to Baker Creek. 

A great list,Vetivert. Thank you. I didn't know that there's a dwarf form of Lil' Daisy. That will be interesting to try. Fat Man is also an interesting one for me. I had heard good things of it and grew it this year. But for me it was just too late. I had no flower at all by late August and although it flowered eventually its few beans were much too late to produce seeds. It will be good to be able to try again with seed produced more locally.

And Clary Sage. It's decades since I've grown that. How lovely to renew an acquaintance!

Duobao is an F1 variety, we'll discover the offspring together :)

Yes the radish is a leaf variety with hairless leaves, so suitable to salads. I didn't try the roots but they were fairly small, and white. The seed packet didn't have a cultivar name as such, just 'Mooli leaf'.

Dwarf Lil' Daisy was a variant that arose from Lil' Daisy on my plot a few years ago and I'm happy it is stable after three consistent crops. It has pods like the original but on tiny 20cm tall plants and no daylength sensitivity. The name is a placeholder and I may come up with something else before sending it around.

I'm surprised that Fat Man was so late in your location. I did find it took its time go get going here but put it down to my mismanagement of transplant timing. Plenty of seed here for you to try again. I'm a big fan of the silvery pods which contrast so nicely against the dark foliage.

Great on the Dwarf Lil' Daisy. And well observed. I'm not sure that I'd have noticed a dwarf plant amongst the rest. The advantage of the name as it stands is that it gives a clear idea of its origins.

Receiving Fat Man and having another go would be great. I sowed mine on 7th May and planted out on 29th May. It could have been slightly earlier but not a lot.
In fact I have harvested about eight seeds in the end but they're not in good condition - stained brown as very late seeds often are, especially white ones.
