Black Beauty
Mikinos
Tristan
Defender
Alfresco
Astia
Most packets had 8-10 seeds so I've sown the lot. With my luck, I'll have 60 courgette plants looking for homes...........or I may have none.
Well you know the ironic proverb 'may you live in interesting times', I think we may have coined a new one 'may you germinate 60 courgettes'

It was dwarf french bean day here, I sowed a mix of colours indoors -
Cala d'Or (yellow)
Nautica (green)
Purple Teepee (purple!)
I'm also attempting to chit the gigantes beans I found in a supermarket.

I sowed beans today too. Couldn't understand why I hadn't sown some Hunter, Fasold or Marvel of Venice. Couldn't find them anywhere amongst the modules. Scratched my head, shrugged my shoulders and put it down to a blonde moment, so sowed some more. Guess what, found them soon afterwards in some peat pots hiding along with the bedding plants. I may be over beaned.
