My seeds have arrived! \o/

My seeds have arrived in the post! \o/ :D The onion sets will arrive later in the year, and the potatoes have already sprouted! :o

I went to Homebase earlier and bought 4 bags each of compost and top soil as I need about 9,000 litres of top soil / compost to fill the various beds! >.< Will get the things to start building the beds tomorrow, hopefully; may need to hire a van…

So, the list of things I'm growing:

  • Kale (Redbor)
  • Leek (Musselburgh)
  • Asparagus Pea
  • Calabrese (Romanesco)
  • Pumpkin (We B Little)
  • Cauliflower (Graffiti)
  • Lettuce (Vanoise)
  • Kohl Rabi (Azure Star)
  • Broccoli (Rudolph)
  • Pepper (Mixed)
  • Cucumber (Crystal Lemon)
  • Carrot (Purple Haze - F1)
  • Radicchio (Palla Rossa)
  • Squash (Summer Ball)
  • Radicchio (Trevi)
  • Shallot (Ambition)
  • Chinese Radish (Mantanghong)
  • Beetroot (Mixed)
  • Aubergine (Moneymaker - F1)
  • Carrot (Sugarsnax)
  • Kale (Dwarf Green Curly)
  • Parsnip (White Gem)
  • Pak Choi (Green Revolution - F1)
  • Beetroot (Boltardy)
  • Pepper (Minimix)
  • Chard (Bright Lights)
  • Butternut Squash (Hawk)
  • Potatoes (Foremost, Nadine, Desiree)

I'm really looking forward to seeing what I get out of this, as I'm hoping the answer will be vegetables with flavour!
