Thanks will do

Thankyou both... so if it doesn't say F1 the seed should be viable to save in subsequent years then I guess?

Just a quickie.... im looking at seeds in the D.T Brown catalogue and was unclear about F1. Now I presume that F1 means you can't seed save from that plant?? I was kindly given benchmaster runner beans this season which have been great but was wondering if I can keep the seed for next year? I...

I tried Franchi french beans this year and they failed twice!!!?? My friend has a property in Italy and he brought some seed back. ... weirdly they germinated in pots but not direct in the soil..??

Thanks Hugh... off to ebay to look at seed.

They are lovely.. just had one roasted for my tea! I'm more intersted in french beans and runner beans to be honest Hugh as my bush peas got pea mothed and what spuds people are enjoying.. I tried rocket spuds this time a desiree...d

Well its that time of year that I'm looking towards next season and buying seed. I was lucky to get some seed from British Red who was very generous as was Toddy with her blackcurrant cuttings. I'm after recommendations on organic seed where possible of varieties proven to you. I saved my own...

Yep very covert 😨☺

We've had success and failures here... Some nice red gooseberries which I'd like to increase...carrots are getting there.. onions pulled a few the others are going to be pulled soon. The beans didn't germinate so had to put in more runners that are now late, only one french bean germinated which...

We all have to learn.... I am all the time... but I was taught by my old man never be afraid to ask others more experienced.. I do regularly and many on here ( you know who you are) are very generous with their time and patience. The open pollinated parsnips I had off BR are fab... so are the...

Port....hmmmn

More your fruit really... was thinking of your strawberries ..

Lovely work fella. Regarding nets I took advice and bought scaffold netting off eBay. .. pretty cheap and youcan get it in different widths.... go fo bigger than you think just remember some plants need the bees to get in to pollinate....d

Well spotted that man!!! Yes I had some seed from British Red and as a biannual I have let four go to seed so I have got more seed for next year...BR says can grow to 8ft hence the hazel support sticks.....As for cmpanion planting I tend to plant onions and carrots together as onions help to...
