@Labs_Habs Wow! Were you able to eat it?

[Joy Michaud @SeaSpringSeeds]

We have got a lot of Dorset Naga available for sale right now. They are excellent quality this year. To buy go to our website: https://t.co/ALizKvLCZg

@Labs_Habs So glad yo like it. We love Wraith. The chillies have such a good flavour, and the plants are amazingly productive.

[Joy Michaud @SeaSpringSeeds]

Just had some really good news!! After an absence of THREE YEARS, we have just been informed by our supplier that they now have new stock of Apache chilli. So we should have seed packs available for selling by next week!

[Joy Michaud @SeaSpringSeeds]

Sown in early February, plants of both Hot Juan and Hot Juanita have now got red fruit on them, making these varieties this year's earliest maturing chlllies, and possibly the two earliest varieties we sell from our entire range.

Tomorrow is the last day we will accept orders for chilli and sweet pepper plug plants. So if you need more plants NOW is the time to order! See https://t.co/fsZP1dDKve

@RobsAllotment I just wondered do you mean Micro Tom or Micro Cherry?

[Joy Michaud @SeaSpringSeeds]

Well, we have one week left of selling chilli and sweet pepper plug plants. So if anyone is short of plants NOW is the time to make an order. Next Friday is the last day we will take any orders.

@justmetraceyb Well that is impressive.

[Joy Michaud @SeaSpringSeeds]

@BertieVenTertie Now that is impressive! Micro Cherry really is a fantastic tomato!
Our 2024 Micro Cherry seedlings are now about 5cm tall!

We’ve just started to harvest the leafy sideshoots sprouting off the main stems of our Oldenburg Kale. The shoots were topped with tiny, unopened flower buds and measured about 10 to 20cm long. When cooked, they were tender and tasty – who needs purple sprouting broccoli?

[Joy Michaud @SeaSpringSeeds]

@justmetraceyb Yes, our greenhouses get really hot when the sun shines, but its the night temperatures I would be concerned about in March. Still that extra cloche would make a big difference.

[Joy Michaud @SeaSpringSeeds]

@maddy_mussen Our's is called Shelby!

[Joy Michaud @SeaSpringSeeds]

Well I think this Amaranthus seed passed its germination test.

[Joy Michaud @SeaSpringSeeds]

@Guestlandlord No we don't. We don't save any of the seeds for sowing either as they cross with other winter squash very readily. If you save the seed you could get anything next year!

[Joy Michaud @SeaSpringSeeds]

Try using a heavy duty ice cream scoop to deseed pumpkins, marrows and winter squashes with large cavities. Our scoop came cheap at a charity shop, though different versions are readily available elsewhere. (The picture is of Crown Prince winter squash being deseeded)

@ChilliChirps That is interesting. Everyone always says rocotos are the most cold resistant Capsicum species, but I have never tested that claim, and your experience certainly doesn't support it. Could it be a myth?
