I definitely don't need more tomato seeds but I've gone and ordered three more, not too sure why.........is it an addiction?

Yes....it is an addiction.

A couple of hundred dahlia tubers in the greenhouse-

I've just ordered a couple of dahlias - it's cold out. The worst is I will hide these when they come.

Westerton Pearl, Soft pink
Dikara Superb, Pink
Natalie G
Westerton Ella grace

My argument is that I am trying to support small businesses - this chap grows his own. So none of the tubers are imported. A little more expensive that the big importers but very much worth it.

He has a FB page Jack Gott
Or website - it's not fancy! https://jrgdahlias.com/dahlias/

Today's almost free seeds arrived from Alan D Carter https://www.foodforest.garden/?fbclid=Iw...Yk9ZWEHfk/
He specialises in perennial and edible plants which he grows on his Scottish allotment. I've had seeds from him before - last time it was mostly kales as he's been crossing some varieties. He's written a brilliant book and there's lots of info on his Blog too.

He's sent me:-
Adenophora triphylla - Japanese Ladybell
Angelica archangelica
Campanula latifolia - Giant Bellflower
Campanula persicifolia - Peach-leaved Bellflower
Doellengeria scabra - Aster scaber, gomchwi
Hablitzia tamnoides - Spinach Vine.

Also received 2 cuttings of Atriplex halimus - Saltbush.

I’ve splashed out and ordered online from Quickcrop.ie because they had cranberry bushes and none of my local garden centres had any, so I bought
2 x Cranberry bushes type Pilgrim
2kg Maris piper seed potatoes main crop
2kg Purple rain seed potatoes 2nd early
2kg Solist seed potatoes first early
1 pack of 6 strawberry plants type Cambridge
1 x Kent and Stowe stainless steel long handled oscillating hoe
Total including delivery and a €5 first order coupon was €78,75
Coffee keeps me busy until it’s acceptable to drink whiskey.
