[veggiechicken]

As it says above, a new book and a new range of unusual edible plant seeds available from Suttons. Don't know whether there will be a TV programme to support it.
Sutton's have a special offer - the book and 6 packets of seeds for £20 but P&P is £4.95.
James Wong Seeds - Homegrown revolution - Suttons Seeds and Plants
OR Amazon have the book for £11.20 with free P&P James Wong's Homegrown Revolution: Amazon.co.uk: James Wong: Books
If anyone spots the book on sale could they give me a shout as I'm tempted Like the look of some of the seeds too and at £1.85 they're not too expensive.

I had a look at the book the other day. It's got £6 off already in WHS. Probably half price in the supermarkets. I can't say I fancied that many of the recipes to be honest. Bit too wacky for me!

James Wong's Homegrown Revolution (Hardback) - James Wong - 9780297867128

is this it VC was looking at it today!

think its a decent price here too

[darcyvuqua]

VCif you order through the book people via my link and use the code OFFERSEP (think its still valid) it takes off delivery thus getting the book for £6.99

[veggiechicken]

Thanks VVG. I'm not interested in the recipes really, more in growing unusual plants that are also edible and decorative. For example, I eat day lilies but have never thought of dahlia tubers before! So if I can have flowers and food from the same plant, I'm a happy chicken

Thanks darcy. I may order the Wartime Farm as well

[darcyvuqua]

was looking at that too im sure it was also £6.99

instead i went with the hairy dieters

[veggiechicken]

Many thanks Darcy, I've ordered both and another book and the offer code is still valid. I can spend the p&p I've saved on seeds

VC - Don't buy Cucamelon seeds!Think I have Asparagus pea too, if you want it or find it on sale for 50p at Wyevale. If you haven't got one near you, I can go and see if they still have them at mine.

[veggiechicken]

Thanks VVG. I have Asparagus pea, Callaloo, Japanese beefsteak aka perilla. In fact I'm going through my seed list now so that I don't buy duplicates.
Have you grown Cucamelons and are they any good?

I found these seeds at a garden centre recently and really fancied growing some of them. I didn't know there was a cookbook too. I bought some cucamelon seeds and can't wait to have a go at growing them. I have no idea what they taste like - they just looked like they would be fun to grow
