HSL options :)

[veggiechicken]

What seeds have you all chosen?
I've just realised I haven't sent done anything about this and there's not long to go before it closes

[FROSTYFRECKLE]

I received my seeds last week. I picked ying' stem lettuce, Shetland kale (if you still want some), clear pink early toms, Brejo FB, capucijners peas and cabbage paddy. My luck dip is celeriac (heading to the VSP)

[veggiechicken]

Shetland kale - yes please. I've asked for the Tall Curled kale, so, if it comes, I'll swap you
I really struggled to find 6 that I wanted. Have no idea what I've ordered, it was almost stick a pin in time

[FROSTYFRECKLE]

I struggled this time as well. Don't know if it is time to call it quits. Certainly nothing really jumped out at me this year

[veggiechicken]

So many of them seem to be " Aunty Mary's beans" "Mrs Mildew's tomatoes"............not quite what I think of as heritage seeds.
Lots of the seeds are in the VSP so I/we don't need to include those in our 6 choices - and, I already have lots of seeds that I don't have room to grow.
I'm not going to renew my membership this year.

[veggiechicken]

Mine have arrived - I should have ordered earlier as not all my 1st choices came.
I had:-
CFB B&B, & Brejo,, Red Peas Starley Red, Onion Batun, Greek Squash and Caribbean Pumpkin and the lucky dip was English Winter/Late Queen Cauliflower that is sown in May and harvested the following May/June

VC, is the greek squash like this one: Greek Sweet Red Squash | Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Co ?

(some kind soul put the HSL catalogue online last year so I could find it on an internet search but no one's done it yet for 2015...)

[veggiechicken]

The catalogue came as a PDF file - don't know if it possible to put a link to it.

This is the description for the Greek squash - not the one above.
(C. pepo)
A bushy variety that is very productive and just keeps on
going. The light green fruits have pale green, mildflavoured
flesh and can be eaten young, or allowed to
grow on to hefty marrow proportions.

VC I have just posted your kale off today - soz

[veggiechicken]

Thank you Frosty I was disappointed not to receive the tall curly kale on the list, but, realistically, there are only so many kales that a chicken can grow I still have the Tall kale and several others growing and its their 2nd year

[Zelenina]

My HSL seeds arrived quite a while ago, but I forgot to say what they were, so here they are:

John's Purple carrots
Shishigatani squash
Carter's Polish climbing French beans
Malsevnepe Brandhaug turnips
Kelper Gigantic swedes
Shetland kale
Clibran's Victory tomatoes - bonus packet

Im tempted to join but you have to join grow organic too and I don't think I would use it much

Yes, that surprises me as you didn't need to But got a discount if you did which is fair enough. I know they want more members but feel this is a bad move and clearly discourages people.
