2022/23 - Seeds & Stuff I've ordered/bought/acquired

I’ve got Corsican mint, Veggie. It’s great and sows itself in tiny cracks all around the place. I’ve got Erigeron and Corsican mint in all sorts of tiny places.
Apparently it’s the one they use to make creme de menthe.
Tiny purple flowers and leaves are lovely snipped into a salad.

That’s a fantastic selection.

It’s not helping me not to order ! 

My seed order from Chiltern has arrived,.
If it makes you feel better the 2nd pack of 50 seeds was more or less a duplicate of the 1st 50. Lots of onion/shallot seeds, no cucurbits, lots of lettuce and salad mixes, plenty of herbs including different types of mint . One is "Mini mint - a Corsican mint" that may be perfect for my revamped rockery. a couple of DFBs, a cauli (the only brassica), beetroot,  okra, aubergine, Marmande tomato, sweetcorn, amaranth, skirret,  I won't list the flowers as they're all different. One is the Bargain Basement, lottery mix of Greenhouse plants, Wonder what's in there.

Oh go on! List them.
make me green with envy with all the exciting flowers!!

I acquired this lot yesterday   .

   

I’ll be asking for help identifying some of this lot. My friend that brought them didn’t know what she’s taken cuttings from 
I know I’ve got hydrangeas and holly.

The small variegated leaf could be weigela, the white flower may be viburnum:

If you've not already used it, Google Lens is a really useful app for identifying plants. Or you could search Google by image here by clicking on the camera icon - https://images.google.com/

Thanks. I’ll take better photos tomorrow. I’m really hoping you’re right, because I want both of those

yeah I Do the google by image thing. It’s pretty good. I’ll have a look at that link. Thanks.

My flower mix from Chilterns came today- thank you VC - pretty pleased with my selection - will make me try something new. Some I won't use and will probably find their way into our seed swaps. The ones I've starred I'm super excited about.


My list..::
*aquilegia mixed species
*black millet
*sweet sultan - amberboa
corn marigolds - eastern star
*aster - matsumoto
Bells of Ireland

What I probably won't try:
Star fire tagates
Gilia - birds eye
Bellis - monstrosa
Slipper flower - fashion mixed

Pretty good selection.
I’m going to have to look up what “slipper flower” is.

Slipper flower - calceolaria - looks nice.
