    Order from Moreveg arrived this morning

    Old favourites:
    Tomato Sungold
    Spinach Amazon
    Leek Oarsman

    New varieties to try
    Lettuce Bronze Mignonette (recommended, reason for order)
    Lettuce, Green Ice
    Baby leaf Red Ruble Kale
    Mustard leaf Red Frills
    Pak Choi Summer Breeze
    Calbrese De Cicco
    Beetroot Lutz Green Leaf
    Carrot Amsterdam Forcing
    Cucumber Spacemaster

    Well, there isn't much point in just ordering 1 packet of seeds, is there?

      I bought more winter squash! I was really looking for coir blocks and fertilizer from Tamar Organics...

      Organic Squash - Green Hokkaido

      Organic Squash - Black Futsu
      A small, pumpkin shaped squash that has heavily ribbed black skin which will turn orange if left to mature fully. Excellent flavour when roasted. Scroll down for more info.

        Never much point. Bronze Mignonette looks lovely. I've just looked them up. Am trying to avoid buying seeds this year, I have so many from last. But...

                          Love this thread. It's skittles be retitled Seedaholic Anonymous. My OH and I keep saying no seeds this year apart from parsnips but try and we might the odd packet falls in the basket. Don't lots of cut flowers so this week I brought Bunny Tail grass, statice, gyp, and a couple of other flowers.

                          Though we actually have space to sow seeds this year and bring on in our little yard so I'm trying to get to grips with proper succession planting both flowers and veg
