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.
Trust somebody to upset the apple cart of no more seeds,BUT,they do look and sound intering and tasty,like chestnuts eh,thanks for the heads up mmmmm,LD goes off thinking.

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!

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.
Copious types of flowers
New things I'm planning for next year are leidse hang down broad beans, sanguina beetroot, dragon purple carrot, long Lisse carrots, some beans I cant remember the name of right now, Paris pickling cucumbers and a burgess buttercup squash. Plus whatever potato's I decide to do in my potato trial.
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!
