That time of year again. Tried my best to diversify from a peas-only request this time.
Cucumber: Sigmadew
Onion: Batun
Peas:
Blackdown Blue
Mr Bethell's Purple Podded
Turner's Spring
Veitch's Perfection
Excited by Turner's Spring - up to 12 peas per pod - and Sigmadew, a lovely looking sweet cucumber.
Batun will be an interesting addition to the collection. It looks like A. fistulosum but the description of 'thumb-sized, purple tinged, crescent shaped bulbs' has me wondering if it's a small dry-skin multiplier like the I'itoi, rather than a spring bunching onion.
I was tempted by the runner bean 'Simpson's Many Stems', but I have enough beans to grow this year. Very curious about the multi-stemmed trait though. I could have sworn my Painted Ladies had more than one stem, but perhaps not. Is it that uncommon?
