2025 - Seeds and stuff I've bought or acquired

I got my seeds from SheGrowsVeg!

Beetroot Red Toad (rouge crapaudine) - two packets, one for me and one for my sister
Radish China Rose
Storage tomato Hanging Prince
Sweet pepper Lesya

I won't sow the sweet pepper this year, it's far too late, but the rest will be sown, a few seeds at least, and I will try to save seeds from all of them

With a view to protecting the chard and beetroot from leaf miner flies I wanted some lightweight insect mesh. I've already got some but it's a bit heavy. I knew the mesh wasn't cheap, it wasn't when I bought the existing stuff. I had a look on Temu. I was very pleased with the watering can I got through there. So I have ordered a 3x5m sheet of what I think will be lighter weight mesh than I've got. Looking in the garden centre something equivalent was priced at £25. Temu cost £6.04 and free shipping. It should arrive today or tomorrow.
