Morning all
I have started this year growing / saving a few plants from the incinerators.
I brought a rhubarb plant - it had one small leaf and was severely waterlogged from the focus closing down sale for 30p and it did thrive but I think it has died (did have to research if they die for the winter though - so hes in the greenhouse now but will get planted properly soon once nicer weather rolls in again.
Also rescued a 'stick n a bucket' for 20p as it was unidentifiable - later discovered it was in fact a blueberry bush so that is also in the greenhouse.
Strawberries for 20p in wilkinsons thrived but look to have since died - I had one strawberry but Ive no idea what to do with it now - will they grow back or do I start again?
Anyway, in the wilkinsons sale i picked up a lot of seeds (I checked dates) and was wondering if you think it is possible to get a good crop next year or am I being too optimistic?
The seeds I have are
Im also hoping to add to this list some onions, potatoes and peas but I have no idea which ones are best for taste etc so would like any recommendations please.
I do also have plenty of space and am hoping to get some raised beds in soon. Also the compost bin is well under way and a water butt will be coming soon too.
Any advice with any of these seeds would be greatly appreciated. Ive only ever grown spring onions and tumbling toms before as I was in a very small flat with no outdoor space.
Im sure I will be about much more with other novice questions so please bare with me! x
