Seeds For 2022

Its the 27 / 28 Dec (as I am writing this) the weather is a bit a lot MEH – BUT I have had a totally gorgeous Christmas Day and Boxing day and now I am just chilling and being very Sloth like and loving every minute of it – so encouraged to think about looking at my seeds for growing this coming year. I have a lot of seeds left over and I want to use them up… So I have tried to separate them into piles / sections of Defo Growers and then left over seeds that I am giving another chance to for various reasons.

I am working towards the advice of only growing 5 varieties as my main stay – with maybe a few supporting side liners – and a few that are purely for me… I think it could take a while to get to this goal but that’s ok – NTS its not a sprint its a marathon – and I can change my mind about things.

So in no order or anything like that…

Larkspur –

• Misty lavender full packet – SCF
• Smokey Eyes full packet – SCF
• Mixed full packet – SCF

Nigella –

• Love in a Mist – Persian Jewels – Mr F (plenty of seed)
• plenty of seeds left – SCF

CornFlowers -Ball Mix -SCF – plenty of seeds left

• Ball Mix -SCF – plenty of seeds left

Snaps –

• Monarch mix – Chiltern seeds
• Appleblossom – Chiltern Seeds
• Madame Butterfly Colour mix – SCF

Cerinthe – full package – SCF (becareful of green fly)

Asters –

• Ostrich Plume – Higgledy Garden (plenty of seed left)
• Duchess – from Kim (Sow march – may)

Salvia –

• Clary Bouquet Mix – Suttons – Plenty of seed

Lupins – I adore Lupin – although I have lots of Johnsons seeds could buy / try others if I see them.

• Russell Mixed – Johnsons – lots of seeds

I am growing these as I have seeds left over – they are either plants I am not that keen on for me or didn’t work / grow well in 2021- if they didn’t grow well I have chalked that up to experience – well LACK off and a bit of a chaotic year – 18 months – jobs Covid house moves… tobehonest… until Jan 2022 – and hopefully this new year will be somewhat more straight forward…? but hey who knows

I need to look and take stock of Perennials , and keep on top of Biennials making sure I keep planting some seeds but not to many so as not to over load but not to few so as not to have enough.
