Thanks to you I found the REal seed company, the have very interesting comments and also Forellenschluss, my favaourit lettuce. I´m a Swedish kitchen gardener and a writer of gardening books, mostly about kitchen gardening . I grow lots of heirlooms and read your Heritage Vegetable Reviews with great interest, have tried most of them myself. Do you know if there is a Carouby pea that´s small, about 50-70 cm. Weibulls, which is the biggest seed company in Sweden, introduce them 2009 and I wonder if they might know something that I didnt´know. <BR/><BR/>How is it going with your red peas? Hope your dear cat has recovered.<BR/>lena in StockholmAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23047857.post-23347584373802816652008-09-19T10:34:00.000+01:002008-09-19T10:34:00.000+01:00So glad to have you back.

Does look cute with the bandage though.<BR/><BR/>And there you go again, making me jealous with the red vegetables...<BR/><BR/>My sweetcorn hasn't done well. There are a few ears but very small - there just hasn't been enough sun I guess.<BR/><BR/>Most of my greenhouse tomatoes haven't ripened yet, again I'm blaming weeks and weeks of rain and no sun.<BR/><BR/>Strangely my outdoor tomatoes are okay at the moment. Not at all ripe though, and not many fruits. I'm expecting blight any time though.Robbiegirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06528997485488258141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23047857.post-41217099622135214202008-09-14T22:22:00.000+01:002008-09-14T22:22:00.000+01:00Welcome back!

So sorry to hear of the trials and tribulations of the last couple of months. I hope life can move forward for you now and that you too feel better soon. Give the Ginger Peril a hug from us, I'd love to have cats again but the Canine Management at Bag End will not permit such behaviour. all the best, Bilbo.BilboWagginshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06913801147278606148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23047857.post-54345473668901969352008-09-13T21:44:00.000+01:002008-09-13T21:44:00.000+01:00Nice to see you back!I was thinking about trying s...Nice to see you back!<BR/><BR/>I was thinking about trying some sweet corn from Alan Kapuler next year, and I'm glad to hear you had success with it.
