Have a look at SC's post at https://gardenandgossip.org/showthread.php?tid=115 and follow the link to Real Seeds website. That'll tell you everything you need to know about saving seeds.

Korean Liquorice Mint (?agastache)
Red Uchikuri squash
Giant Bolivian Achocha
Purple Orach
Cucumber - Wautoma
Plus Three seeds I've promised to save seeds from to send back into the Incredible Seed Library :-
Gardener's Sweetheart Tomato
Neckargold CFB
Siberian Podarok Cucumber
If you recognise there names, most of them are on Real Seeds website.
I've also received a few extra seeds to share with you lovely lot!
Gardener's Ecstasy Tomato
Roveja peas
Vates Blue Curled Kale
Borage
Soapwort
If anyone wants to grow these and can save a few seeds to share amongst us later in the year, stake your claim now.
PS This is a test to see who reads my posts. I'd rather fancy the Roveja peas, but suspect I might struggle to squeeze them in this year!

I can send you some if you want to try, Pros. I don't think they're very big plants. The pea seeds are tiny, not much bigger than sweetpea seeds. You can probably grow quite a lot in a small bed - maybe even a large planter.

I picked up some summer "bulbs" from B&Q -
6 x dahlia Bishop of Llandaff (dark foliage, red flower)
9 x begonia Sunray (trailing, apricot colours)
I'll start them off next month.

PS This is a test to see who reads my posts. I would do the soapwort? I already have borage - so could save from that if anyone was interested.

Soapworts supposed to be invasive - if that's a problem, Scarlet?
