The online plant suppliers rather dictate what I must plant.
Things keep arriving that I ordered ages ago and I had forgotten about.
Seems to be the week when all the Arisaema people shunt out stuff.
A goodly selection of bulbs (corms?) to plant immediately as they are all
showing very rapid growth.
Being more specific I have Arisaema sikkokianum bicolorifolium-try saying
that after a few glasses of winter night booze. Don't bother to look it up
it's just a very posh form of Lords & Ladies.

Hi,
I've been out gardening ;-) (gloat)
but here is a list of some of my seeds for this year - that are here now,
ready and waiting:
* is new a new variety for us for this year
*Dwarf French Bean - Borlotto Firetongue ..... red with white streaks
*Runner Bean - Hestia (Dwarf Stringless) - red and white/pink - I usually
grow non-standard coloured runners these days. I have also got some other
seeds saved from last year.
*Chilli - Hot Stuff - various colours
*Squash - Cobnut - really looking forward to this but bit worried that it
might sprawl all over the place.
*Tomato - Sweet Million - a cheery type meant to be 'super sweet'
Courgette - Orelia - I tried this two years ago and it's now a regular.
Cantaloupe Melon - I might go for outside this year as I increase the pot
size every year - and they still seem to get pot-bound
any tips and comments grafefully received
