Hello from this Newbie I found this site via a T & M link to GYO - certainly looks V.interesting?
Hello to everyone from a newish, old but VERY keen gardener.
Anyway, to make a start with this group: nothing big, just that I've got 2 FREE packets of seeds for the having; they came a couple of months ago with a an order of 5 purple asparagus crowns (I'll be needing lots af advice for this, later)
1) 500 seeds Lettuce Red/Green 738E: Salad Bowl + Red Salad Bowl, 50:50. 'Attractive cut & curled oak leaf shaped leaves.' Sow March - July; harvest June - Oct.
AND
2) 350 seeds Mustard 1885/K: Red Giant. 'Mild, tangy flavour for salads & stir-fries.' Sow a April - August (and Aug - Oct for large, mature plants); harvest July - Oct (and thru to spring).
There's no tradename on the packets, but kale from the same source has shot out of its seed-bed in 4days. I'm not a green salad eater - so maybe someone else IS?
