I went to Lidl the other day & when I got to the checkout there were 3 packets of seeds in the trolley Now not sure how they got there but they're now sat on the side at home

[Lawrence]

Growing 62 varieties this year but I am always looking for new ones.

 

As Hannah rightly says 

(don't suppose you know what chillies are the parents of Chenzos?)

Sorry can't help you with that, but there are quite a few black ones to choose from.

I have only been a member here for a couple of days and find the whole forum fascinating ! Odd how I feel most at home in this thread "now I must ignore that T&M catalogue that just dropped on the mat today  

Beware, it is enchanting!

*Feeling self-righteous*

I didn't even unwrap the cellophane off my T&M catalogue 

Now the Seeds of Italy catalogue...

Snowdrop - I also popped into Lidl today and came out with three little grow pots of strawberry's, peppers for me and some marigolds for the slugs

Which chillis are the mild ones BabbyAnn?

I'm not a fan of the heat, but I do like the flavour of chilli.

Me too!  That's how my shopping started off as I wanted to try a few mild ones and I'm especially interested in paprika type for flavour not heat, but then there was much discussion about extremely hot chillies at work and I ended up with a trigger finger.  Along with the others, I've also bought  from Simpsons Seeds:

Aji Pulsar - mild-medium heat
Espelette - mild
Nepalese Bell (apparently can be mild or hot)
Padron - mild

and from Premier Seeds:
Black Hungarian - mild-medium heat (not as hot as Hungarian Hot Wax)

and I was given seed:
Ancho - mild
Cascabelle - mild

I have a small greenhouse (8X6) with part of it heated via soil warming cables and a couple of small heated trays, also a growlight.
As usual, I've over done the seed sowing - (being impatient!) and the greenhouse is full!

But so, so exciting
I've had tomatoes germinate after 4 days. Never had that before.

Just hoping that I can pot up the hardy stuff and move into the polytunnel on the allotment. Because there's so much more to sow, and what happens when I need to pot on.....!?
I do this every year, and say I will do better next year. But its just so addictive  isn't it?

2 more packets of annual flowers...well, Sarah Raven says they are good cut flowers.....I just can't resist! 

[Ema]

Picked up another 10 packets in lidl where am I gonna put the packets let alone the plants?

I have the patience of a saint for planting seeds.
Bulbs however, are quite another matter!

I love this thread - it's so reassuring that we are all as addicted as each other!

Caroline - I 2nd that - I was smug that I had all the seed I was going to use - went shopping with the wife could not resist looking and picked up Pea's which I said I was not going to grow and Cress so I can actually grow something now  :happy:

I'm my defence, having now cleared the plot and measured again I do have a little more area than I thought.
