November Update (no.3) - Planning Ahead (no.1)

Greenhouse No 1

Agapanthus, Geraniums etc. in GH2 for over-wintering

GH 2 - sweet-pea, onion and cauliflower seedlings

In between work and committee stuff I am taking the opportunity to plan for next year in the garden!  I'm still juggling my allegiance between Geoff and Monty (Hamilton and Don) (sounds like a bad mafioso film), so by combining their words of wisdom and advice, I spent a happy time ordering all my seeds for next years vegetable produce and floral 'display' (!).  I also managed to get some really good bargains - 50p each for some tomato seed packets - and free delivery.  They have been dispatched apparently so I am looking forward to organising my plan of campaign for all of the following:
​

• Feverfew 1500 seeds
• Hyssop 400 seeds
• Chamomile 1500 seeds
• Aster Carousel Blended Mix 150 seeds
• Canterbury Bells Calycanthema Mixed 600 seeds
• Morning Glory Clark's Heavenly Blue 50 seeds
• Nigella Jewels Mix 500 seeds
• Stock Virginian Mixed 1500 seeds
• Tomato Black Cherry 100 seeds
• Cucumber Burpless Tasty Green F1 Hybrid 15 seeds
• Carrot Nantes 2000 seeds
• Beetroot Boltardy 300 seeds
• Broccoli Early Purple Sprouting 500 seeds
• Tomato Alicante 100 seeds
• Carrot Amsterdam 2000 seeds
• Dwarf French Bean Tendergreen 40 seeds
• Hot Pepper - Habanero Orange 25 seeds
• Leek Musselburgh 400 seeds
• Pea Purple Podded 100 seeds
• Runner Bean Painted Lady 25 seeds
• Sweet Pepper Long Red Marconi 50 seeds
• Sweetcorn Swift F1 40 seeds

I now have to work out a sowing guide - that will be keep me occupied as I want to figure out the companion and succession planting too.

If they prove to be prolific, I might be taking orders in the spring?!
