    Always grow something, I do have a new chillie "Hot Wax" to try, but there will be new tatties too as well as thinking about a couple of others, depends on what seeds are available.

          Haven't pressed the Checkout button yet, but some interesting stuff there. Wild garlic grows in woodland so that a possibility for a shady part of my plot. The Borage is pretty accomodating and the bees love it. I use a lot of Cumin so why not try growing it. The lavender will be planted around the chooks to tone down the niff on a hot day.Wonderberry sounds interesting along with the turnip rooted chervil.

            I'll be growing some different varieties of chilli ( as yet to discover what they are)
            But also, I keep thinking about growing melon....outdoors...but then I'll probably jinx the summer weather!

              Snadge, I'm proud of you They have some interesting stuff and I've bought quite a bit from them over the years. Think Jay-ell grew Wonderberries - if you want to out do him
              I had some seeds in my basket - but not pressed that button yet. Like the look of Squash , Houka Sieguri - Blue Kuri kabocha, Squash - Winter (Seed)

                Bit of a tight git and can get some of the herby stuff from Moreveg at 50p a knock.

                That minimum order for seeds at Pennard is a bit rough!

                  My new things are mostly different varieties of what I already grow, although that might change when I get the allotment! So far I have:

                  Broad Bean The Sutton (already planted)
                  Broccoli Rioja
                  Calabrese Baby Matsuri
                  Carrot Samurai
                  Cauliflower Maybach
                  Climbing Bean Nectargold
                  Florence Fennel Romanesco
                  Pea Sugar Magnolia (purple podded sugar snap pea)
                  Raspberry Ruby Falls
                  Tomato Brandy Boy

                        Job's tears and caffrey's oats but I am growing them as ornamentals
                        Cotton as I am ever the optimist
                        Lettuce leaf basil, I don't know why but every other basil I try to grow fails one way or another.
                        I am hoping to get seeds of a rare Japanese squash as well.

                            Like Nicos! gunna have a bash at growing Melons!

                            One particular variety I came across is suitable for growing outdoors in our British climate, but I won't, will grow under cover to give it a better chance, but can't find the "Sodding" seed packet to tell ya what it is, think it's in the back of the car!

                              Bario, a bit like "Chilli" growing!

                              This will become an obsession! Believe me! ..................
