GCS still hasn't told us

Just out of intrest!!! I am not a spy from any seed company.

Dear GCS, some people have such suspicious minds.

I clearly read the wrong sort of books. I was quite excited for a while!

Hi Geoff,
I think this a case of 'same meat different gravy.' Wallis's are a large agricultural merchants in Chemsford and Wallis Seeds is an offshoot company.
These are the Tuckers of Essex type of company!

Recived the 2009 Thompson & Morgan seed catalogues today, i think i will try growing onions (bulbs) from seed this year with there new exclusive supasweet onion £1.99, as well as the new mayon potato varities.

so... how early do ppl start planning next year's garden? (i was describing my raised bed ambitions to a friend last night and she said "isn't it a bit early to be planning next year's garden?")

er... is it?

Hi Alia,

I have been planning mine all year really. Deciding what to grow again next year, and what not to bother with. Something new, or something that I never got around to this year. There's always planning to do and seed catalogues to study. Next year is always going to be better than the one before

I keep a gardening log and have a page set aside each year for gardening notes. What has done well, something new with a really good flavour, which part of the garden is best for warmth, what to move to another place and anything I won't grow again. I find if I write it down when I think about it it is more likely to get done.

I usually have a plan for changing bits of the garden too. It certainly isn't too early for making plans.

The rotations follow a pattern but I love looking at new things to grow. Also I think about which veg we make best use of and any that get wasted or I've grown too many of so I can adjust it next year.

PLUMPUDDING. Each year a make a personal promise to keep a diary. Each year I never seem to get round to it, promising myself I will remember for next year, next year arrives and I have forgotten most of the things I ment to remember, oh , now next year!!!!!

Is anyone else waiting for there copy of Mr Fothergills seed catalogue?
