I bought 2 shrubs in Lidl today they are supposed to be attractive to small birds especially blue tits. They produce lovely red and orange berries for the birds. I have put them in pots until I get planters for them.

I’ll put the names up tomorrow

Pyracantha, cotoneaster or berberis?

Sowed some self saved clary.
Probably too soon, but as it’s my own seed I can afford to be reckless.
(I’ve got a bit more if this fails).

I always sow in January- get some decent plants by March and I can then move them out. Autumn sown ones are already planted in the garden.

Pyracantha in particular and berberis have lethal thorns. We used to plant berberis either side of a path to keep people on the path!  Big Grin I remember berberis otowensis purpurea was my favourite. Cool

Sowed my extra chillies today - fatalii yellow & rose, serrano violet, jalapeno felicity & sugar rush peach.

Sowed a packet of sweet peas “Horizon” that came from VC last year.
Thank you VC!

Also had to sow a few more chillies.
My lovely neighbour who regularly brings us half a dozen eggs (and refuses any payment) said he would love some chilli plants later on.
Hoping to give him a really good assortment to show my gratitude, so sowed 2 or 3 each of a good few varieties. (Most of which have come from this years and last years seed circles.)

Sowed a tray of Zebrune Onions/shallots, love the sweet taste of these and becoming expensive so though I would try my luck
