Hello PP

Arc mixed is?

Sorry Danny, it's a while since I mentioned it!
I bought a collection of seeds from an organisation called Kokopelli based down here in the Pyrénées, called Arc en ciel de Potageres (the rainbow of vegetables, broadly). Instead of packets of named varieties you get a mixed packet of named varieties,  so I won't know exactly what I have until each plant grows.
It's interesting and infuriating in equal measures.
All open pollinated and organic

Antirrhinum majus 'Appleblossom'
I know it's perhaps a bit late, but hopefully I'll have flowers by mid July. I really wanted a tall snapdragon so I'm very happy I found this one (from Sarah Raven).

It was a CFB day but I couldn't choose which ones to sow - so I randomly selected 2 of my alphabetical seed envelopes - and pulled out B & K.
Sowed :-
Brejo (HSL)
Bob & Mary (HSL)
Blauhilde
Birds Egg
Blue Lake
Brockenhurst allotment (?CFB or RB)
Kentucky Wonder aka Old Homestead
Kew Blue
and, to fill up a gap, Hunter.

Some of these beans are well past their sow by date and this is their last chance to prove themselves worthy of a place in my random garden.

Sowed various basils in pots indoors:
2 x dark opal
1 x lemon basil
1 x sweet basil
