I have lots  of round courgette seeds - may do a mass sowing of all of them to get them out of the way. Big Grin

I don't get on with yellow ones or round ones. The Romanesco I grew tasted strange but may try again. I'm fond of the light green and dark green. Dunja seemed early, compact and prolific. I quite liked the novelty of the climbing one I grew last year,  Black Forest. That reminds me must sow some tromba.
I like them all. I grow round ones regularly. I like yellow ones because they’re yellow. They definitely don’t produce as well as any of the other types. So I don’t grow them very often. I don’t really notice any difference in flavour between the different types or varieties.

I got some purple bell vine seeds the other day that I am so excited to sow tomorrow. Have any of you got experience of them, please? Are they really vigorous?

Sowed some sunflowers and marigolds, watermelons and canteloupe, and some courgette, pumpkin, cucumber, tromba, and GIANT pumpkin seeds. It's too early for me, really, but I live in hope of finally growing tromba instead of a cross-pollinated variety sent me by mistake and, of course, a GIANT pumpkin.

I sowed some peppermint and basil in one seed snail, and it turned out HUGE! I sowed parsley Italian Giant and garlic chives in the next, much smaller one. I really need to crack on with the sowing, although it's another two months before it'll be frost free here.

I forgot to say that I planted up one gooseberry, one red currant, two black currant, horseradish bought from the shop and bunged in the ground, two blueberries and two raspberries yesterday. It's very, very stony ground behind the barn, probably stones put down to stabilise the ground, as cows have been coming out of the barn there. I sifted the stones to be able to plant in the soil and dug as big holes as I could, then topped up with nicer compost.
