Title: The Vegetables that I am growing this season.........
Post by: fatbelly on January 07, 2008, 21:25
I have just ordered my seeds online via Sutton's.
Total cost including postage was £28.
Not bad considering the pleasure and health the seeds will bring me.

The varieties I have chosen are..........

Broccoli F1 Green Magic Seeds
Brussels Sprouts F1 Wellington Seeds
Cabbage F1 Hispi Seeds
Capsicum F1 Gypsy Seeds
Carrot F1 Maestro Seeds
Onion (Salad) White Lisbon Seeds
Parsnip F1 Albion Seeds
Pea Hurst Greenshaft Seeds
Rocket Wild Seeds
Swede Brora Seeds
Sweet Corn F1 Sundance Seeds
Tomato F1 Sweet Olive Seeds

In addition I will be buying about 100 Sturon Onion sets, and some Shallot sets which will be purchased locally. Then my spuds will be, Earlie's, Rocket. Main-crop, Pink Fir Apple, Vivaldi and Desiree which will be bought on my trip to a Potato weekend at the end of this month.

I want to grow Jersey Royals as an Earlie but I don't know which variety to buy, does anyone know what variety Jersey Royals are?

Thanks WG.

But don't expect them to taste like Jersey Royals, unless you've got Jersey soil & Jersey climate!
