You will! Hopefully the circle will interest lots of new grapes that would like to try some of the varieties that you've received in the seed circle. Lots of heritage or open pollinated varieties need to be grown every year to keep the seeds fresh.

Me neither! But honest! Easy!

"I'm in"!

Although not sure what yet!

No need to commit to anything yet. Just enjoy stroking your packets of seed...... or is that just me...

Orange Banana is one of my favourites.

If you are getting bad blossom end rot, then a drop of calcium with each watering should sort it out.

Garden which have recently discovered that a lot of composts contain high levels of salts determental to plant growth.

Thanks for the tip for blossom end rot.

Thanks I only had BER on the orange banana,all the other varieties were fine,a few people last year said about watering twice a day & that did work towards the end,after I lost quite a few,it's something to do with that kind of plum shaped tomato needing an extra watering,the pot when I lifted it was so dry but I treated them all the same,I prefer to plant them in the ground if they're greedy like that

Hopefully in too if okay with the boss
