Seasonal No-man's Land

Seems it's that time of yet again; time to go through the seed catalogues trying to work out what new veg will be part of this years adventure.  It is a wonderful time of year not quite spring but the worst of winter seems to be behind us. Everywhere is starting to show little shoots of green, even the unknown tree is showing a little bud.  Spring really is my favourite time of year it always seems so optimistic and colour returns.

Talking of colour check out this!

(c) Real Seed Catalogue

It may look like a freaky watermelon but it is in fact a 'Red Flesh' Mild Tricolour radish! The Real Seed Catalogue has them for sale here.  This is one of the best things about growing your own, growing the weird and the wonderful.  There is no way in the world that these would be for sale in a supermarket or if they would they would be about £1.45 for 4 tiny radishes.   Now I get to grow them myself! 

This post is own excitement not an advert for the Real Seed Catalogue.

    Hi, Ruth

    That link to The Real Seed Catalogue looks interesting. I'll investigate further later today.

    Can't seem to find a link from which I can 'follow' your blog.

    Perhaps, if I'd have been signed in, I'd have found the 'Follow' link!

    Senior moment! All done now!!
