Today le facteur delivered -
Italian Giant Parsley
Savoy Cabbage King of Winter
Pointed Summer cabbage coeur de boeuf
Romanesco Cauliflower
Dwarf French Beans - Roquencourt
Dwarf French Beans - Beurre Maxidor
And some free mixed primrose seeds.
Popped into Wilko to try and buy some smoke alarms (unsuccessfully, they are sold out everywhere - presumably stuck on a container ship somewhere) and somehow found myself leaving with five packets of seeds instead
Cauliflower - All the Year Round (though it's suddenly occurred to me that I have some Snowball cauliflowers from the seed swap last year - oops!)
Calendula - Daisy Mixed
Calendula - Indian Prince
Nasturtium - Tip Top Mixed
Sunflower - Giant Single (got to try harder for the tallest sunflower this year!)
Less than a fiver for the lot.
And my parents are bringing me my old seeds over tomorrow. Some may be too old to germinate now, but I think most will be okay.
I bought a box of dried peas to use for pea shoots. I had some pea shoots last year in salad bags so thought I'd try growing my own. 50p for a box!

Ditto! Popped into Wilko for a notepad and came out with three dahlias.
I got some mixed seed kale seed and some cavolo Nero seed plus some Norfolk carrots and a big 10kg bag of wild bird seed.

What's milk seed kale please?
Yes I'd like to know that too. I have a tonne of kale varieties I haven't sowed yet, but I've never heard of milk seed kale
I've picked up a few things this week. Some cress seed (I always forget to grow this and end up buying it), swan river daisy seed and a 500g bag of gigantes beans.
I found the gigantes in a grocery shop and thought I'd try them. My dried peas for shoots have sprouted so I'm hopeful the gigantes will also be viable and germinate for me.

Sorry guys that’s a typo, or rather a predictive auto correction text on my iPad. It should read ‘Mixed ‘ not milk
