Rudbeckia Sahara, zinnia queen lime, a large flowered white achillea, some very pale calendula, and a naked seeded pumpkin because I'm hoping to eat the seeds without all the crunching and shell splinters.
Never heard of naked seeded pumpkin. That goes on the list for next year. Hope we have a progress report in the autumn. Which variety did you get DJ?

Especially the large flowered white Achillea and pale Calendula. Have grown zinnia Queen Red Lime and Rudbeckia Sahara in past years and been very pleased with them (Don't know why I'm not growing them this year, really!)

I've had good germination for the calendula, zinnias, and achillea, so I've gotten away with my order from a naughty supplier.(08-05-2024, 05:51 PM)doublyjonah Wrote: Maybe this should be in the confessional thread.

I assume some of them wouldn't come true from saved seed but I'll try for anything that seems likely.

It's confession time again. T&M's free p&p and 89p seeds lured me in. No excuses just weak willed. Only 4 packets :2 wallflowers, a yellow French marigold and a tomato Merrygold which is an F1 so I can't save the seed.

I can't disagree, I'll do two lots of penitence, I'll do two lots of digging and two lots of weeding and even be nice to P.

Responded to a FB post in a plant swap group and shortly thereafter collected a bag of dahlia tubers and rooted cuttings from a very nice lady in a nearby neighborhood. Otto's Thrill, Maya, Rawhide, Penhill Dark Monarch, and Great Silence.
