Anyone Buying Seed For 2020 ?

@Mike Allen it’s so hard to hold back, isn’t it? I was going to wait until next weekend to sow my chilli seeds, but I think I’ll do them this weekend instead....

 

I sowed my chillie seeds before the new year. Mine seem to take forever to grow and set fruit!

 

I'll be sowing onions this weekend in the greenhouse.
I use those divided trays and sow three or four seeds in each section, then plant out in late March to mid April depending on weather.

 

I have just bought my first seeds ever to plant up in my salad bed. I have purchased spring onions, radish and lettuce ready to sow outdoors March/April depending on weather.

 

Last seeds I'm getting just arrived.
Sweet peas...

I'm in this club. Despite of loads of seeds bought or received with gardening magazines, came for peas - wanted tall variety:

 

Got myself some Alderman peas and White Casper pumpkin seeds from eBay - first attempts at growing peas and pumpkins so I didn't want to spend too much. Not quite seeds, but same principle, I also bought some Bocking 14 root cuttings. Only ordered 6 and they've sent 12.

 

You know that voice of common sense in your head that tells you that you've got enough seeds ?

Well I sowed my chillies a week or so ago and the Anahiem germinated almost immediately. No signs of life from the Bulgarian seeds. So that voice was overruled and Ive just bought a pack of Jalapeno as insurance.... and a pack of 7 pod congo ….. and a pack of Bulgarian carrot chilli … and a pack of cherry bomb

oooopppps

 

Bought a packet of Physalis, inca berry, cape gooseberry, on the way home tonight.
Thinking of planting quite a few plants on the allotment and maybe making some wine, could be interesting.

 

Just received delivery of Gladioli species seed from Silverhill Seeds.

 

You must have a fair collection of species Gladioli now.

 

@longk I've now got 10 spring flowering species, 3 in the garden and the others in the greenhouse. The greenhouse ones are just coming into flower.

 

Hi @NigelJ do you grow G. flanaganii outside? I used to grow it and it seemed to do quite well. I'm not sure if I still have it as one pot of glads has lost its label and didn't flower last year...
