Allotments 4 All

Onions and aubergines for me plus a few early peppers. Trying some of Ruud's older pepper seeds in chamomile tea then damp kitchen roll. Just one notable success so far but I wasn't expecting much from older chilli seeds as they're some of the shortest keepers.

And seed snails! New to me - I lead a sheltered life! They look very interesting. I'd love to hear a bit more about how you've used them, MR or anyone else. I imagine they're very good for onions. And if they could save some space and compost for broad beans or peas, which I'm just starting to sort out, that would be great.

I tried seed snails last year  , thinking they were probably a bit of a fad , late in the season but I was very impressed by the resulting cosmos and last autumn sown sweet peas are doing well. I have sown broad beans both ways and await results , high hopes for sweetcorn!As for tomatoes I sow a few seeds of many varieties and think labelling would be an issue for me. Snails do save space and compost especially when heated propagator space is at a premium.
