This Years Heritage Seed Library Seeds

Before Christmas I picked the ix packet of seed I'm allowed as a member of the Heritage Seed Library


 They always have some really interesting ones to pick from. There was a few that stood out to me.

I couldn't pass up on a bean called "Old Homestead", seems very fitting for this blog. 

The Oden Longstanton Leek is said to grow up to 1.5m tall, I'm not sure how good of a crop it will be, but it'll certainly be interesting to grow.

The other was the potato leaf tomato "Belhomme's Fortuna", there's something about growing a potato leaf tomato I find interesting. The gene that stops the lobing of the leaves is a recessive gene so it's not that common, they look different but one smell is all it takes to know it's tomato.

  1. Do you save any seed for them as a member?

    1. I do, but normally give them away at the seed swap I help at rather than send them in.

  2. I visited Ryton Gardens in Coventry over a quarter of a century ago. Inspiring place.

    1. It's an interesting place, I've done a one day course there and it was very good.

    1. It got me interested! I wonder what it will be like? I should probably plant the seeds of it soon really!
