      Over the last few days I've potted up very over-chitted Lettuce Analena & Catalona & Perpetual Spinach with a few extra unchitted seeds thrown in for back-up. Also sown Cottagers Kale, Kale Scarlet, Calabrese Atlantis & Wild Rocket.

        Is old parsnip seed worth a try? Sow by 2022. I thought I'd chitted one, but it is actually a vagrant kohl rabi on the kitchen roll.

          Parsnips do seem to be the one thing that's recommended for fresh seed every year, but there's nothing to lose from trying

            I always forget to confess my seed buying here!

            This year I thought I'd try some micro dwarf tomatoes so I got blau zimmer and inkspot from Red Dragon Seeds. Ponchi fa red from Premier Seeds Direct and Veranda a dwarf bush from T&M.
            Oh and a dwarf cucumber from Premier Seeds too

            I do love a trend!

            I forgot the tagetes starfire and nimrod cucumbers also fromT&M.

                Sowed telephone pea, spring onions
                Chitted some courgette and squash as older seeds so may have done nothing.

                Also forgot ..
                Cucumber (3 types)
                Chard bright lights and orange
                Celery normal and peppermint

                      Thanks Peanut,I hope it is alright,just out of interest I’m doing an experiment with it to compare growth on two tomato seedlings,one grown in the normal jacks magic & one in the rocket grow peat free,they might need different watering routine but I hope for similar growth on both plants,hopefully one won’t go yellow etc
