Tromba D'albenga - for the contest
Cucumber - Burpless Tasty, Marketmore, Crystal Apple
Cucamelon

Yesterday I sowed a big tub of purple haze carrots & threw some seeds amongst my meteor peas in the ground,I’ll sow a few parsnip seeds direct there today maybe if I remember. Planted two big tubs of main crop rooster & pink fir apple & two more potato bags of first early Lady C. I don’t think my dahlias are coming back this year I’ll have to find some seeds...
Get them in the ground ASAP CP, I find they hate being in small pots, probably because they have a long tap root.
Thanks, I'll probably give them a few weeks to develop a couple of non-seed leaves and then get them in. I'll thin them soon as each seed cluster has successfully germinated 3-4 plants.
