Seeds to Grow Next Year
This list of seeds is just a short selection of those I may grow this summer January is a good time to read seed catalogues
Flowers
Alyssum Carpet of Snow the dwarf spreading variety that grows 8cm high . I bought by weight to get a quantity that will fill parts of the garden with that strong floral fragrance in late summer.
Alyssum Royal Carpet a deep violet I have not tried before – just a packet for fun.
Antirrhinum Tall Cut flowering to about 2 feet tall and useful for cutting. My first choice La Bella F1 were sold out so I will try again next year.
Aquilegia Alans Delight bought to give to a friend called Alan who admired my Aquilegia and has just started an allotment
Gaillardia New Giant Hybrids a two foot tall mix of this desirable perennial.
Helenium Helena a perennial to flower in the first season, bought for cut flowers
Vegetables
Courgette Green Bush for cutting when small a family favourite amongst the vegetarians
Courgette Tuscany F1 as it is resistant to mildew and I am worried about another damp summer
Parsnip Improved Marrow from an organic collection of canker resistant strain
Broad Bean Witkiem Manita for early beans to be sown in February
Broad Bean Masterpiece Long Pod as a contrast to the other beans
