I'm not sure what happened this year, I usually look forward to receiving the seed catalogue from the Heritage Seed Library (HSL) in December. But this winter has been quite a struggle and I just wasn't feeling very well, so all thoughts of planning what to choose was put to one side. That is until I received an email reminding that the deadline for orders was February 26th, which was just a couple of days away. With a cuppa I sat down and went through the list picking out varieties that took my fancy the most. I selected 6 varieties and sent of my request. I wasn't sure if I'd get back any of my first choices at such a late date, usually I put in the request straight away.
My little parcel arrived a few days later, a really quick response by the HSL team. Four varieties were first choice and two second choice.
Bossingham Longpod broad bean (my 2nd choice, first was Relon)
Tower Hamlets dudi (my 2nd choice, first was Slovenian)
Waley's Pea Bean a climbing French bean.
Hutton Wonder pea
Coopers Bean - a pea. I got this variety in 2014 to try but I've no idea what I did with the packet!
Long Blood Red beetroot, I wet for the name as I've grown Early Blood Turnip and love it.
I also had a bonus packet of Tellus celeriac.
