    New Edibles from the Crazy Plant Growers....

    After looking through the latest T&M booklet there are a few new plants they are raving about and I am seriously thinking about investing in a few.

    Has anyone had these or are going to try them this year?

    Fuchsia Berry

    Fuchsia Berry - Fuchsia Plants - Thompson & Morgan

    Power Daisy

    Calendula 'Power Daisy' - Annual Plants - Thompson & Morgan

    Blackberry - Black Cascade

    Blackberry Black Cascade - Other Berry Plants - Thompson & Morgan


    And no I will not be trying these but I would be interested in any views off people who do

    Tomato 'Gigantomo' F1 Hybrid - Tomato Seeds - Thompson & Morgan

      Fuschia "berries" are edible - though some taste better than others. I nibble Mrs Popples so won't be trying this "new" one.

      Not sure what's special about the calendula?

      The blackberry in a hanging basket looks too perfect to be true!

      Like Skeggi, I'm not tempted - even with free P&P

            Please don't pay £14.99 for 5 pot marigold plug plants

            I am intrigued by fuschia berries but I am still a bit wussy when it comes to eating flowery plants. Am now wondering if it is worth trying to grow normal blackberries in baskets Climbing varieties of veg can do well in a basket - I feel an experiment coming on.

              Echo what Norfolk grey said a packet of seeds with about a 100 seeds can be bought for £2 or less. They are so easy from seed.
              I rarely find new and improved live up to the hype.

                        Better book your tickets for the Harrogate Show, SP, as that's where you'll need to take your Biggun for judging

                          I'm in the process of booking a twin room in a hotel close by. so my tomato has his own bed!

                            That was my first thought too.....Fifteen quid for Calendula? I've got them sprouting all over the place on my plot....for free!

                            The blackberry looked nice but overall I'm not tempted as I have to stick to an El Cheapo budget this year....would rather spend the cash on material for building paths and raised beds. I still have a few seeds to buy but will be sourcing this from either Wilko or Fleabay

                              Gillykat - don't forget to look at the VSP before you buy seeds
