We might be trying Seed Snails this year.. Would you

Let us know if you do

The Seed Snail Method was developed by Farida Sober, a home gardener in South Wales, UK, to maximise seedling production in limited space

I get a huge sense of achievement when I volunteer at Transition Turriefield (our local community vegetable growing project). Today I was planting.

So, have discovered that my pack of Hansel F1 eggplant (aubergine) seeds is empty. Now trying to decide if we replace that like for like with seeds for a variety we know has grown very well for us, or go for a "Real Seeds" option and dive into the unknown. Real Seeds have just one long variety: "Long Purple": https://www.realseeds.co.uk/aubergines.html#aulp

Anyone here have any experience with this variety? I do generally trust Real Seeds, results with their stuff have been good so far.

We also need green/red capsicum ((bell)pepper) seeds. Which Real Seeds has a good list of. Probably going to try the "Kalbi Round": https://www.realseeds.co.uk/sweetpeppers.html#spkr

Then the deal has to be if we're getting "Real Seeds" we need to get with the programme and save our own seed for these. At least this isn't too complex a task for most of these Solanum type plants.

I've planted my celery from stalk and sprouted onions in pots in the garden. I've put bamboo canes in the pots so the cats don't crap in them. I hope they do well.
