RE: 2022 - How many you growing & picked? - Broadway - 27-04-2022
On the 6th April I sowed 2 each of......
Courgette - Shooting Star/Zucchini
Cucumber - Bush Champion/Mini Munch
Marrow - Long Green Bush
Squash - Butternut Chieftain/Harlequin/Table King/Uchiki/Tromboncino
So far 7 of the 20 have germinated. A bit of a change/experiment this year, to save on compost I use a 50/50 manure/compost mix to sow them in!
RE: 2022 - How many you growing & picked? - Small chilli - 27-04-2022
Just the one this year Tromboncino.
Can’t say how many plants. Not germinated yet. It’ll be 1 or 2 . Definitely no more.
It would usually only be the one plant. But I want to see if my isolated self saved seeds come true. So I’m growing some from the packet and some saved.
I’ll find homes for any extra that germinate.

I've finally planted them all out now. Some could do with a bit more room but I've planted those next to my autumn planted onions and early potatoes so they should get some room later on.
4 cucumbers, 2 beth alpha and 2 female F1 seeds I nicked from packet off my (London) daughter.
8 cougettes mix of green bush and striato
several butternut harrier, hercules, hunter (all F1) and 4 waltham.
2 Uchiki Kuri,
2 grey squash (a winter squash not sure of name. got the seeds off my Manchester daughter)
3 blue banana
5 pumpkins Marina di Chioggia (4) and Moscade de Provence (1)
3 tromba
8 melons arava (4) Kasakh Melon (3) and 1 pepito
It's one thing planting them out, quite another to look after them so I get a good crop. But with the BBC reporting the governor of the BoE: "Bank governor in 'apocalyptic' warning over rising food prices" it may give me an added incentive.
A lot of these were from old packets but I find they generally have a long shelf life and good germination. However I used the last seeds from some packets this year.
