That's not a confessional, that's a bargain to be proud of.

Bob brought me this today
Well when I say brought, he brought it home. He was actually given the plant.
(I’ll take that as a win )

I acquired 3 packets of FREE seeds today from the Seed Saving Network. https://seedsaving.network/ You can order 3 packets of seeds for £1 to cover P&P.
There weren't many seeds left as I'd left it to the last day to order (To be honest I'd forgotten this group existed!)
I had Gaia Soya beans; Squash - North Georgia Candy Roaster and Cucamelon.

That’s a very interesting site. I’d like to join. Think I’ll wait until my garden is a little more together. I’m definitely bookmarking that for the future. Thanks for sharing Veggie.

Is it the Squash that interests you? Just checking
I thought I'd mentioned the Seed Saving Network on here but I can't find it! I learnt about it from https://www.incredibleseedlibrary.com/ which offers 10 packets of seed of your choice for £4 to cover P&P. I've been borrowing/contributing to that for a couple of years.

You may find a few squash seeds in your random envelope which will be on its way soon.

Maybe this should be in the confessional thread. I bought from one of the less reputable websites because I just had to have some seeds I saw elsewhere but was too cheap to buy... Rudbeckia Sahara, zinnia queen lime, a large flowered white achillea, some very pale calendula, and a naked seeded pumpkin because I'm hoping to eat the seeds without all the crunching and shell splinters.

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?
