Looks fantastic! If I was to roast garlic I'd want something like Music with large bulbs.

Thanks for sharing this @journey11 and I totally agree with you :)

I'll keep my fingers crossed that you get more pods. Thanks for the update.

Growing potatoes from true seed is a fantastic thing to do. You have two advantages, seed grown potatoes are a good way to remove some disease issues that build up from cloning and secondly you can select for potatoes suited to your conditions or other needs. It is easy to do and does not take...

42°C would be brutal for most if not all peas.

You bet it has even more synonyms than that I just listed the most common ones for USA, UK and Australia. How big did the plants get before bad things happened?

I'm sowing more peas tomorrow. Green Arrow aka Hurst's Green Shaft aka Green Shaft and Goldersbe.

@sea-kangaroo Okay the left photo of your Blossom Valley segregates is just amazing! Please take another photo after they have dried down for a while so we can see their final color. Your extra white seems to be the result of climate and soil something @Bluejay77 and I have noticed quite...

I'm pretty sure he could be a writer, he needs to find a publisher and put out a few books.

The more the better right?

I would advise caution as it doesn't matter if it is surface or not, if the potatoes are green anywhere then they should not be eaten and instead be saved for replanting or otherwise discarded. Potatoes contain glycoalkaloids (Solanine is the main one that I remember) mostly in stems, leaves and...

Yes Gold Rush I am familiar with. Ambassador I don't ever recall seeing here as Blackjack has always been the no.1 green here.

Which summer squash do you usually grow?

Was your new seed from a different source? If you're lucky it might be far enough removed that it will help return some of the genetic diversity.

Planting more peas at the moment.

Plenty of uses, all for the cost of just one night of disturbance. Hopefully tomorrow is sunny so I can start sowing some beans in containers.

Sounds like you need some bean fed deer and beef stew.

Thank you for the offer, I got lucky and between the last post and this one managed to get a packet that was the real deal courtesy of a small organic seed supplier whom I forgot had a small rack at a local store.

I'd suspect since one of the seed coats looks like Cherokee Wax and one looks like Contender that it is more than a coincidence. I'm not sure if commercially available Cherokee Wax here is the real deal. I have Contender and am considering repeating the cross out of sheer curiosity to see if...

That is interesting that two beans are pretty much stable in all respects but throw different seed colors. I wonder if repeating the cross would bring about the same results.
