Never heard of naked seeded pumpkin. That goes on the list for next year. Hope we have a progress report in the autumn. Which variety did you get DJ? I ended up with Triple Treat since they had it at the same site as the flower seed I wanted. I sowed them yesterday so fingers crossed I'll get one to report on. I have also heard of Naked Bear, I believe, and a couple with non-English names that I can't remember.

Really like the sound of all the flowers you bought. Especially the large flowered white Achillea and pale Calendula. Have grown zinnia Queen Red Lime and Rudbeckia Sahara in past years and been very pleased with them (Don't know why I'm not growing them this year, really!)

I'm really looking forward to them although I think I'm probably rather later for the rudbeckia and the achillea. I've had good germination for the calendula, zinnias, and achillea, so I've gotten away with my order from a naughty supplier.
I assume some of them wouldn't come true from saved seed but I'll try for anything that seems likely.

It's confession time again. T&M's free p&p and 89p seeds lured me in. No excuses just weak willed. Only 4 packets :2 wallflowers, a yellow French marigold and a tomato Merrygold which is an F1 so I can't save the seed.

!. You bought seeds
2. you gave money to T&M

I can't disagree, I'll do two lots of penitence, I'll do two lots of digging and two lots of weeding and even be nice to P.

Responded to a FB post in a plant swap group and shortly thereafter collected a bag of dahlia tubers and rooted cuttings from a very nice lady in a nearby neighborhood. Otto's Thrill, Maya, Rawhide, Penhill Dark Monarch, and Great Silence.
