ANYONE BUYING NEW SEED FOR 2021?

I have ordered some Aubergine Listada de Gandia and some Kohrabi. I have never grown either before.

I have probably ordered far too many seeds for my own good; I'm blaming Bella for wrecking Christmas weekend and stranding me inside. They range from Aquilegia to Tulbaghia via Fuchsia species, climbing aconitum, Gladiolus and Liliums. Often borderline hardy and slow to germinate.

 

I have ordered some veg seeds and too many tomato seeds... I am now looking at Plantworld again, and maybe also Chiltern for flower seeds...

 

I have ordered
Datura Yellow
Datura Purple
Hollyhock, Halo Mix
Livingstone Daisy, sparkles mix
Aster, pinkie
Monstero Deliciosa
Silky Oak
Sensitive mimosa
Lunaria annua

The tropicals are mostly for one son as he loves indoor plants.

I have over 30 different types of seeds collected from this past fall. What doesn't germinate will be ordered in 2022 for a fresh start that year.

 

The Chiltern Seeds order arrived a couple of weeks ago Bauhinia variegata, Caesalpinia gillesii, Euphorbia mellifera, Psidium cattleyanum and Cryptostegia grandiflora. And breathe...

 

Not having a greenhouse now I am limited on how much I can grow. I ordered and received 3000 Aubrieta seeds a month ago. Finding a place to grow them indoors will be challenging, but where there's a will.....

The only other plants I will be growing will be runner beans but I'll buy those locally off the shelf.

 

I am going to try Greek Gigantes beans this year. They are a type of runner bean that you haven’t and eat the actual bean as a pulse. Has anyone grown them before?

Just ordered Aeonium tabuliforme, Agave parryi, Lobelia gregoriana and Crotalaria agatiflora.

 

Hi Rusty, I think they are butter beans.

 

Just received Tomato Black Russian, Heinz 1370, Bloody Butcher, Pea Blauwschokker, Runner Bean Firestorm, Broad Bean Karmazyn, Basil Lettuce leaf
Still got a rather large order of ornamental plants to come...

 

Trying to use up the ridiculous numbers of old seeds ive got ...............but bought some Sanmaranzo tomato seeds just in case

 

To be honest, i think the only seeds i am going to buy this year are maybe some tomato seeds (thinking about DeBerao). Everything else i have alot of leftovers from last year. Also an uncle of mine died and i got to keep a whole box of everything . I'll probably try to get ehatever was in there to sprout.

 

If I sowed some Phlox (tall fragrant ones..paniculata??) seeds how long before they produce flowers? Is it years?

 

I wouldn't say years , you may get something this year but more likely next year. I bought a bare root phlox. p bright eyes a few years ago took it years to do anything really, I ended up digging it out I were that fed up with it. Best thing to do with phlox is to buy a decent plant and chop it up . I do have some spare ones if you'd look some ?
