Leeks - Blue de Solaise
Hawkbit
Alliums
Sloes (technically these were yesterday)
Welsh onions (regular and red)
Spring onions
White Lisbon bunching onions
Ailsa Craig onions
Red Baron onions
Echinacea Pow Wow Wild Berry
No idea how many of anything I need/have room for. Suspect I have massively overdone it on the onion/leek front
Everything bar the hawkbit (teeny tiny seeds!) has been baggy sown. Thankfully, as I don't have any module trays just yet. I'm going to put an order in for some of the Charles Dowding ones as I really don't want to use flimsy ones that are useless after the first year. P&P is expensive though, so I'm trying to buy enough in one go that I won't need to order again! But how many do I need? I don't know!
Formerly self-contained, but expanding my gardening horizons beyond pots!

Beth Alpha cucumbers - some bought and some I saved in 2018. Want to see whether they grow true as some companies sell Beth Alpha as F1.
Marconi DFB to grow in the GH.

Well I sowed aubergines black beauty, long purple and ronde de valence to see if any do better here. Last year was 2 from 6 plants but a bad attck of red spiders.
Also few sweet peppers including king of the North and California wonder.
and seeds from 14 packets of lettuce to see if any re still viable.
some old Cayenne chilli which hopefully still have a bit of life left in them.

I sowed some sweet peas! My autumn sown sweet peas look awful so I decided to ditch them and start afresh with my new root trainers.
"America" red and white flaked heirloom, from my own saved seed last year.
"Heirloom mixed" from Thompson & Morgan.
"Joyce Stanton" new to me, I was given some seeds to try, looking at photos it is a deep, inky blue which I love.
I also sowed some Swan River Daisy (Bracyscome) mixed colour 25p packet from Wilko.
