[Babru]

Hi Sariss, nice to see you back!

[SarrissUK]

Thank you Babru

[Peanut]

Sowed sweet aperitif tomatoes.

[Penellype]

French beans to test germination. If they grow, these will be grown on the windowsill indoors. Also peppers to replace ones that have not germinated.

[greenishfing]

I've just planted a very few seeds of each of these as I know that in a months time when my windowsills are overflowing and my greenhouses are still too cold I'll be panicking.

Tomatoes: Crimson Crush and Sungold
Cucumbers: Mini munch and Diva
Aubergine: Black beauty
Peppers: Gypsy and Padron
Basil and Lemon basil
Luffa seeds!
Courgettes. (2 varieties)

The courgettes and basil are old seeds. I need to know if they are viable though.

Are these luffas you scrub your back with greenishfing? Are they also edible? Never seen one of these growing, but I suppose they are a gourd.

I've never heard of growing them either, but when I saw the seed packet I just had to have a go. I've no idea how successful I will be.

They are edible if you pick them young, like a courgette. They eat them in South East Asia.
If you want a luffa for scrubbing then you have to let them mature completely.

Well! Multipurpose! Sounds ideal.
