Scarlet - yours have been received. Many thanks. A trug has been started to house these until the middle of Jan.

Sorry for not posting sooner

I've just bagged up Rocoto pepper seeds as the plants have done really well again this year, despite the lousy weather and minimal care.

Also sending Black Icicle tomato, another good performer this year. A greenhouse cordon variety which has done well the last 2 seasons, wispy type leaves. Good production, just picked the last of the toms from one plant about 6lbs or so. Taste is great, fruits are red-black and quite long and pointy. Lovely in salads, sarnies etc, tasty cooked too but a bit too juicy for a paste type.

Possibly also some onion seed, not sure of numbers yet as I've some to do for another group first.

Tps I think will be Skagit Magic a variety originally bred by Tom Wagner though this is a generation or two on. Some clones may have degrees of Late Blight resistance. Mix of tuber colours many creamy white, some purple with white eyes, very pretty. Taste is good, overall tubers are small to medium size and it's a late one. Will Flower for ages and produce lots of berries containing tps (which are poisonous if eaten).


I'm not sure if there is interest in Dancing with Smurfs, a good little cherry tomato, looks almost inky black all over? Or did I send that last year?

[zazen999]

Yes there is interest and no you didn't!

Good to see you out and about, even if it's only in cyber space.

Great that's me sorted then I wasn't sure as I know some aren't keen on the aubergine black look when it comes to tomatoes. I love them, they seem healthier plants than OSU Blue, taste is pretty good too.

Thank you, it's good to be getting about a bit more, loads to catch up on.

cant wait for the toms! Imaginemy school group when I say its called "dancingwith smurfs"!!!

[FROSTYFRECKLE]

Still bagging up seeds so will decide closer to the New Year what to send. Then will post after the madness has died down.

[zazen999]

Got JackySpratty's yesterday.

No rush for anyone - it can wait til new year...but if you want to send before then please do so!

[zazen999]

Just a prod for those who find themselves will little to do over the next day or two. Bagging up seeds would be a good way to spend any spare time.

I agree

It's not a hint, just a gentle prod. Honest. Just don't want people to forget.

I'll still wait until after the New Year. Trying to bag up seeds whilst trying to control a 12 week old psycho kitten does not sound like a good idea Ronnie the kitten is a little rotter whose idea of fun involves launching himself at my slippers then climbing up my legs using his claws. Haven't sown any early toms cause they stand no chance of surviving. He leaves in just over a week (and yes Mr F and I will miss him but only when he is gone).

I've made a start .............seed box is out . Lemon drop chillies look like a definate for starters. Is it still 15 bags of each ?

[zazen999]

Looks like it - any extras I'll randomly pop into people's bags. So if anyone dips out you will get the odd extra bag.

[binley100]

okey doke...........got lemon drop chillies, sweet chocolate peppers and golden hubbard squash (well I think they are cos I lost the label) they were very prolific and the only thing which survived the snug attacks ........but they taste very nice whatever they are anyway
