[coreopsis]

Can I join in please?

[northepaul]

Yes of course! number 16, welcome aboard Coreopsis!!

Sown today:

• cherry bomb
• rocoto orange
• prairie fire
• peruvian purple
• apache
• facing heaven
• orange habs
• gelbe kirschen

However, I perhaps should have waited for the compost I bought in the puring rain today to dry out. That said, they're in a heated propagator. Any plants that do well, I'll try the glue trick and save seeds for the circle.

Yes of course! number 16, welcome aboard Coreopsis!!

Thank you

I'm trying to overwinter a couple-sweet pepper Chocolate Beauty(has a flower bud already)and chilli Georgia Flame(beautiful red very productive one)and got some sown last week:

Sweet peppers:

Napia
Ramiro
Corno Giallo
Jilly's sweet pepper

Chillies:

Jalapeno
Alba
Ring of Fire
Chenzo Black
Calabrese wotsit
Mazzetti
Black Pearl

I'll try to glue the flower,as for varieties to save&share let's see what will grow best

[Davyburns]

I will be growing Gelbe Kershen, and Nigels Outdoors

[vicky]

I've had Sheepnose - a bell pepper - from the HSL, so I'll grow this too. It's supposed to be easier to digest than regular sweet peppers (which i think means it won't make you fart!...)

Do others ? I never knew that!

Ok everyone, I have put on the main page,what everyone says they are sowing, obviously this can always be edited and I dont expect everyone will want to send in 10 different sets of seeds x 16 ()
It would be a good idea if we didnt duplicate.
I dont want to put newer members off by the quantity and veriety offered by some, so I am going to ask what everyone thinks of setting the minimum at just one type, and no upper limit?
Thanks xx

[FROSTYFRECKLE]

I don't mind what lower and upper limits there are (I know I'm very helpful) If you could please remove Gelbe Kirschen from my possible list (others are growing it) and put Untranslatable pepper from Real Seeds. I'll grow others but I don't know what as yet. Has anyone else noticed the advert for GYO and how February is spelt?

Or succeed with 10 different varieties in my case! But I agree, let's set the minimum at one, no upper limit, and we can finalise details later in the season when we know what we have.

Nope, hadn't noticed the spelling Have now though!

I think this is great idea.If somebody manages to separate more than 1 plant(and provide more seeds)that would be great but optional.
I posted the varieties that I sowed.I'm not able to tell you(yet)which one I'm going to save as it depends on the germination(zilch as we speak but still too early) and plants performance later in the season.
From the varieties I sowed I thought about excluding Jalapeno from seedshare and concentrate on more unusual ones-I like Jalapeno(that's why I'm growing it)but it's probably the most common chilli(like Gardener's Delight tomato)and cheap as chips,while the others can be a bit more pricey
