They're a hardy annual, very easy to grow and direct sow outside. I always grow them for my tortoise to eat some of the flowers.
Just ordered from real seeds
Big fat carrots
Giant beans
Yin yang beans
And made another donation to a pangolin charity. If I’m treating myself, I have to help them.

Godetia is a brilliant cut flower, lasts for ages in a vase.
I think I'll sow some
Thank you both - I've made a note of it and have added it to my list of seeds to buy. I just know I'm never going to be 'done' with my seed buying lol

I think I will too!
I picked up some 2.4m bamboo canes from Wilko for all the beans I'm growing this year.
Somehow, I managed to leave without buying any seeds!

How is the Asturian Tree Cabbage going?
I have half a dozen in pots in the greenhouse for the time being. I also have about 20 left in the original pot I sowed them in and I am wondering whether six will be enough or whether to pot on a few more?
Today I couldn't resist buying more veg seeds,(The Sutton Broad beans, Greyhound cabbage,some flower seeds (Godetia and Wallflowers) and some shallots!
My Daughter always has to drag me away from the seeds by the scruff of the neck whenever we go shopping!
Antirrhinum majus 'Appleblossom
Tagetes patula 'Linnaeus Burning Embers'
Squash 'Tromboncino'
Wallflower 'Ivory White'
Digitalis purpurea 'Sutton's Apricot'
All from the Sarah Raven website. Looking forward to finally trying the famous tromboncino!
