As are most gardeners I am a seed addict. I can’t resist buying them. I know I have lots that I need to use up but it doesn’t stop me buying more. This little lot arrived through my letterbox this morning.
I did a bit of an internet trawl last week and came across www.seedparade.co.uk which is a new to me Company that I hadn’t come across before so I thought I’d buy a few packets to “supplement” what I’m growing this year (who am I kidding, I just like buying seeds).
I bought Chervil, Greek Oregano and more Coriander for the herb garden (I grow coriander indoors in the kitchen as well as outside). I also bought Lemon cucumber seed which really intrigued me as instead of your usual cucumber shape these cucumbers grow into yellow, lemon shaped round cucumbers and I thought they would be great in the greenhouse and it’s not something you can get in the supermarket. I’ve also purchased some Gherkin seeds as I love them and shall hopefully grow a few to pickle later in the year.
Along with these, I’ve bought Japanese Spring Onions, organic Red Cherry Tomatos, Purple Podded Peas, more Rainbow Chard as it’s one of my favourites, some interesting tomatos called Black Krim which look like beefsteak tomatos but with a fantastic black colouring to them and Mignonette Strawberry – a wild, runnerless strawberry. I have regular strawberry plants but have never tried growing wild ones so again, another one to have a go at growing.
Let’s hope they all grow well for me this year.
