Looking through the threads I see that some folk have their seeds all organised, so was wondering how much time is taken up doing this as opposed to just putting them in a box then rummaging through all your seeds to get what you want and of course (we'll in my case) when you are doing that there is always other seeds that you come out with that you can sow, is there any spontaneous removal of other seeds when everything is organised?

My wife was watching a program on tv about Brits living in France restoring or renovating chateaus. One of the gardens was planting tomatoes and had these very clever supports. Anybody ever use these ?

Thought they were a great idea     

I’ve just been handed a bag of pink rowan berries. How would you go about germinating them?

Plant them as they are?
Clean seeds then plant?
Heat or no heat ?
When ?
Something I’ve not thought of?

I was going to try as they are some outside, some in tunnel, some in propagator (as it’s running & has a bit of space).

I have loads of the following seeds if anyone would like some, pm if interested… 

Rhubarb – Glaskins Perpetual 

Asparagus – Mary Washington

I appreciate these take a few years but if you have the time/patience? 
Edit - I should add, I have had success with both the Rhubarb & Asparagus this year

Also Lavender – Common English

Does anyone know if there is a way to get a list of all attachments associated with a thread?

For example the screenshot below shows the "tell us what you did today" thread, if you hover over the attachment symbol(paperclip) it states there are 54, can I get a list of these somehow?

I’m just curious what people do regards succession sowing/planting, if you do anything that is?
 
For clarity  I’m not talking about one crop following another I’m talking about the same crop.
 
Do you sow the same variety at different intervals or different varieties with differing maturity dates?

I have a number of different beds of carrots sowed for over the winter, this one is in about 4 weeks coming all night nicely.

   

I bought some pink garlic and some white garlic, Don’t really know the difference between them, so I bought 1 packet of each.
I have sowed 2 bulbs of each, each bulb gave me about 11 or 12 cloves. I sowed the pink ones about 2 or 3 weeks ago and the white ones about 11/2 weeks ago.

They seem to be doing good so far, as I’ve never grown them before I have no base line.
This is what they are looking like.

Some of you may remember that for the last few years I've been "making" my own Advent Seed Calendar - basically, dipping my hand into a bag of seed packets each day and sowing a few of whatever I pull out. I know that SC has joined me in this Festively Nutty adventure - even making her own amazing Advent calendar.

I've just had a mail shot from Victoriana Nurseries selling one for £55 https://www.victoriananursery.co.uk/Chri...UeUo7wXSIw and I saw another retailer I'd never heard of with one for sale. 

I'm giving you advance notice that I shall be doing this again this year - and it will cost far less than £55.  I'd welcome some company while I try to get in the Festive mood.
