There are so many varieties to choose from. What are peoples preferences? Perhaps you have some suggestions Cherry type : Sungold F1 is probably my preference followed by Gardeners Delight Slicing type : Streak Sandwich This year I am trying Amish paste for the first time but unfortunately did not buy any sungold seeds in time.
I had some vine hooks left from making Roman blinds,so put on the raised beds so I can attach wire netting to protect my strawberries from next door cat and birds,and maybe make into little tunnels if I can keep wind from blowing them away.
@Rae Stevens once the plants are established they are usually ok. It is annoying when the cat digs a hole and scratches out the young plants and smothers the others. I don't have any raised beds
It’s time to grow like never before as this war rolls on and costs spiral I’d advise getting seeds compost to grow what you need 🙏 Let’s help fill the short falls in our food supply this year Thank you all for being here and caring x
@Jannyne Holmes The real seeds website has some useful information scroll down the menu past the varieties to find the section. You may have found that already. I recommend printing their seed packet templates. I have colour coded packets along biodynamic groupings. To make it easier to find the right one.
Had a lovely present from my daughter ,she bought me some lovely seeds, so thoughtful of her. I can't see they are F1 ,but what I don't know if open pollination seeds. Maybe just grow and eat rather than save any seeds,what do you guys think.
Looking at the varieties in picture suggests most, if not all, are open pollenated. I had a look on their website but no info. Internet search on the variety will say F1 if they are
Just received my first batch of vegetable and herb seeds- heritage and organic as suggested by Mark on Richard Vobes recent interview. I only have a very small garden so can't plant all at once- does anyone know if there is a "sow by date" with seeds!? 😁
RealSeeds.co.UK have some interesting varieties of heirloom seeds and encourage you to save seeds too. I like the templates that you can print for making packets to put your home saved seed in
