My order from Seed Parade arrived. The seven mystery free packets are:
Dwarf french bean Orinoco
Basil Italian Classic
Russian Tarragon
Asparagus Pea
Clarkia Crown Double mixed
Delphinium Crown Pacific mixed
Lobelia Fountain mix
I'm pleased with the bean as I didn't like the yellow one I grew last year so hopefully this one is better. I've never tried tarragon, basil is always useful and I noticed I was low on seed yesterday, the Clarkia flowers will be appreciated by the tortoise. I've heard that Asparagus Pea tastes dire, but I'm curious to try it anyway just to see how bad it is.

Am I going to risk it?
Just got the message that my bulbs and seeds are on their way……50 stops till they get to me.

Very pleased actually!!
Bulbs were as detailed on the offer even though it said “different items may be provided”.
