The Seedy Sunday Brighton event is a white stone day in our gardening calendar. The day approaches with a slow, pleasurable accretion of anticipation over the growing year: seeds sowed; seeds collected and dried; seeds sorted and packaged. The event never fails to exceed expectations and culminates in a friendly scrum; seeds swapped.
The swag - for the plot57b pollinators. May 2016 be floriferous.
Not put off by last year's returns we are chitting up these Vittelotte, early main (waxy) and Shetland Black, 2nd early (floury). Yes that is a yacon start, an unassuming little lump - looked it up on the internet back at plot57b HQ and nearly fell over backwards on seeing pictures of the size of the plant. We may have to negotiate with the neighbours to grow this one out in their garden.
Imogen was braved to plant the purchase of Wild Ramson starts immediately on return home. These red artichokes & some comfrey bocking 14 will be dug in on the weekend.
This week the sweet peas and some Purple Cayenne and Peruvian Lemon drop chillies will be sown.
