Seed List 2013

Here's the first post of 2013, so happy New Year to you all. The weather has been so wet of late, most of the plots on our site are currently waterlogged, so it's impossible to get on with much. My seed order has arrived, though, and I've listed below most of what I'll be growing this year.

Most will link to a description of the plants and I'll do a separate post on the potatoes at a later stage, in my quest to find the perfect jacket spud.

I've included a couple of new things for 2013 - a black radish (the blurb said about it being an accompaniment to beer on the continent, so I had to give it a go. Not to mention it's black), Okra (just to see how they do - I'm not expecting much in our climate), and some Kale. Not sure why I bought the kale as the pigeons will probably devour most of it and what's left will probably become home to whitefly, but hey-ho, we'll see what happens.

Seed sowing will start next month, with the chillies first on the list.
