Shop Till You Drop

Note: The prize giveaways part of my open garden shown below is complete. BUT I still have some seeds for you if you'd like some and are prepared to make a donation.

The list of seeds (from my garden or allotment except where stated) available are:
  • Agapanthus 'Blue Peter' (see 1st picture)
  • Allium christophii
  • Althea rosea - mixed Hollyhocks (from Threadspider - see 2nd picture)
  • Barlotto 'Lingua di fuoco' - firetongue bean
  • Campanula persicifolia - mixed blue & white (from Threadspider)
  • Carex elata 'Bowles Golden' (from Patient Gardener)
  • Coriandrum sativum 'Leisure' - the leafier version of coriander (aka cilantro)
  • Crocosmia 'Lucifer'
  • Digitalis purpurea - foxglove (from Threadspider)
  • Digitalis purpurea 'Alba' - white foxglove (from Patient Gardener)
  • Eruca sativa - wild rocket
  • Foeniculum vulgare dulce - green fennel
  • Geranium 'Splish Splash'
  • Mathiasella 'Green Dream' (from Patient Gardener)
  • Nigella damascena - Love-in-a-Mist (from Threadspider)
  • Papaver somniferum - mixed poppies (from Threadspider)
  • Primula japonica - mixed (from Patient Gardener)
  • Sisyrinchium striatum (from Threadspider)
  • Viola (from Threadspider - see 3rd picture)
Of course I should be offering you plant sales at this point - a bit tricky. However, as the next best alternative, UK and EU donors will have the possibility of having some seeds saved from mine and Threadspider's gardens here in Chippenham. Patient Gardener has also chipped in with some seeds from her garden in Malvern.

Here's a visual summary of what was available:

A fantastic book stash

From my fabulous blogging buddies - plus a little tapestry something I made earlier

I'll be taking a leaf out of Martyn Cox's Gardening With Kids book and making some packets for the seed giveaway. These wildflower seeds are already nicely wrapped for you
