2025 - Seeds and stuff I've bought or acquired

Stocked up on chicken manure pellets and blood, fish & bone when I spotted them at Aldi today.

Got 4 packets of dwarf nasturtiums at Lidl the other day.

Got four packets of sweet peas at Lidl the other day

Got some more seeds from Lidl:

Dwarf Zinnia hybrids - I grew these two years and saved some seeds, but my home saved seeds didn't give great results so I've bought some. Love these.

Dwarf yellow french beans - still searching for the "perfect" yellow bean.

Uchiki Kuri squash - I've failed with Potimarron two years in a row so I'm trying these instead as everyone raves about them.

More shrubs aquired from Morries on there '3 for 2' basis! (£3.00 each so actually works out at £2.00 each)

Euonymus Emerald n gold. .......A very 'golden' variety with much more yellowy gold on leaves than some other Euonymus I have seen.(1.2m)

Ceanothus Concha..........Large blue flowered shrub (3m when established)

Ceanothus Repens.......More of a lilac coloued flower (looks a bit like lilac!) than above and only grows to 1.5m.

Now all I have got to work out is where to plant them along with the other three herbacious perennials I have aquired?

Friend has sent me half a packet of sunflower premier orange up.

I took advantage of DT Brown's free p&p and cheapie seeds and 3 for 2 offer , ordered a pkt dfb, 2 pkts carrots and a pkt of courgettes plus a freebie tomato, moneymaker. OK it's not a tomato I need but I might grow them one day. All for £2.97. Now, that's a bargain!
