The next batch of seeds and sets are home. The first batch were freebies from a gardening magazine, but these were carefully chosen to match the list of varieties we want. When a specific variety was not there we chose to wait and get it elsewhere, whereas last year we just chose another one.
The list so far:
| Onion sets | Sturon |
| Leeks | Musselburgh |
| Courgettes | All Green Bush |
| Carrots | Kingston F1 |
| Sweet peas | old Fashioned Mixed |
| Mange tout | Reutzensuiker |
| Peas | Kelvedon Wonder |
| Beetroot | Boltardy |
| Tomatoes | Gardeners' Delight |
| Spring onions | White Lisbon |
| Lettuce | Mixed Salad Leaves |
| Sweetcorn | Applause F1 |
| Red cabbage | Red Fuego F1 |
Most of the choices were long considered, but the red cabbage was a rapid choice - I just fancy growing some. We haven't yet bought parsnip or spinach seeds - we didn't find the varieties we want. All of this is in addition to our existing seeds, either gathered, free or left over:
| Potatoes | Pentland Javelin |
| Carrots | Nantes Frubund |
| Beetroot | Choggia Pink |
| Broad beans | Norman's Beauties |
| Tomatoes | Ailsa Craig |
| Broccoli | Early Purple Sprouting |
| Pepper | Tabasco |
Let the sowing begin
