Siberian Podarok Cucumber
Wautoma Cucumber
Red Uchiki Kuri Squash
Giant Bolivian Achocha
Neckargold CFB
I forgot that I also sowed:-
Sugar Baby water melon
Dudi Mo Sayed (No, I've no idea either - apart from remembering the embarrassment of buying one in the supermarket and the checkout operator didn't know what it was and I couldn't remember so said "Its a four letter word beginning with D". The laughter spread from the queue around to the next queue and so on until, I swear, everyone knew I'd bought a big thing beginning with D.
Can't even remember what I did with it!!

Just when I thought I'd finished sowing beans, at least for a month or so, along came the seed swap. Popped in some Neckargold and Yin Yang beans and a cocozelle courgette. Seed swaps have an awful influence.....are you listening Veggie
but aren't they fun!
Yeah!!! I'm an Influencer - and an "awful" one which is even better.
I'd like to take this opportunity to thank all my supporters in helping to make these swaps something special. There'll be another one along at the end of the year - so don't forget to save your seeds............and I like fluffy animals and spend my spare time saving food and other people's junk from going to waste.

Is this your speech for the Oscars or the one for the beauty pageant?
Its for the Soapbox in the front garden where I stand and attract the attention of passing strangers.
They shout and wave their fingers at me so I know they like me.
Sowed some borage, annual lupin and calendula.
Cabbage, broccoli, brussel, sprouts, carrots, beetroot, swede, red spring onions, Turkish fig tree.
Carrots yesterday, although wasn't expecting to plant anything as it was our son's christening yesterday.
One of our guests was a little bored toward the end of the day as the kids who were left were a little younger. So instead he enjoyed weeding the carrot bed and putting the seeds in.
Some mangetout/sugar snaps including Oregon Sugar (2018), Quartz (sow by 2020) and some "Mixed mangetout" that I saved in 2017. These will be all different heights and colours - sowed in modules
Hungarian Butter beans DFB (HSL seeds from a seed swap in 2021)
Tromboncino (finally
) Sow by 2018 so not great hope. If no sign of like in a week or so I'll sown the Sow by 2023 seeds.
Serpent di Sicilia Squash (sow by 2019). These are Tromba look-alikes but the seeds are completely different.
Berrettina Squash/pumpkin
Rugosa Friulana squash (like yellow warty courgettes)
Carosello Medium long of Pugliese.
Also put some Centurion onion sets I'd forgotten about into modules.
