Ash was watchin Sunday Brunch a couple of weeks ago and tells me "there was this botanist bloke on tv recommending plants you missed it." Later I found out on Facebook it was James Wong from Grow Your Own Drugs. I went on his site and found out about electric daisies, little flowers that taste of citrus. Cucamelons, tiny melon that tastes of cucumber but are much easier to grow than both. Saffron that' worth it's weight in gold and nasturtium, bright flowers which are great on flowers and also keep pests off other veg.
So yeah off I go to http://seeds.suttons.co.uk/search?w=james+wong&asug=, thought I'd drop the link in
there. I've bought seeds for electric daisies, cucamelons, nasturtium, chinese chives and winter green (little berries that taste of root beer).
It's all really exciting and the reason why is these little plants I have never ever tasted before I doubt many people have. You can't buy any of this in the shops. There's still alot I've got to try and grow I just picked the most appealing as I don't have masses of space. I'd like to buy Saffron bulbs but they're a bit more costly (I have a budget) but flower into pretty crocuses, I might bu them at next pay day =).
Thankyou Mr Postman eeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
Today I planted the daisies, cucamelons and nasturtium. I don't know which to look forward to the most.
