I'd just like to say thank you for all the free seeds in the magazine. I've had an excellent crop of beetroot, the carrots are lovely, the water cress is doing very well in the greenhouse border next to the tap, and there are some interesting types of mint. I'm looking forward to trying the sweetcorn and comparing it with my usual variety.
I can't remember what others I've planted but they have all grown very well.

I try to trial the free seeds wherever possible and my beetroot too seem to be doing well apart from a couple which have bolted. I have to reserve judgement on the sweetcorn though. Every seed germinated and I have nice top tassels forming on a dozen plants but as yet not the slightest sign of any cobs beginning to form. Cauliflower seedlings sadly all got eaten by pigeons within 24 hours of planting out.

Thanks from me too KG! There have been loads this year & great varieties. I'm really liking the look of the sprayer in this months magazine - very cute & practical, can't wait to try it out!
