Sea Kale

I’ve been thinking ahead to next year’s garden, and buying some seeds and a few unusual plants.

I have 2 new Chilean Guavas (Ugni molinae) from Jekka’s Herb Farm, as well as some sea kale seeds.

Ben from Real Seeds brought some Exploding Cucumber seeds to the Food Growing Bloggers event over the summer, so I will be trying those as well.

An idle flick through the Jungle Seeds catalogue brought sesame, cassabanana, a sweet potato, wonderberries, edamame and a beautiful lilac pepper.

I’ve also made an advance order of risotto rice from Seeds of Italy, and bought 5 plants from Kore Wild Fruit Nursery for the Grow Dome.
