True to form, my capacity to streamline buying seeds failed miserably yet again this year. The greenhouse is now bursting at the seams.
In addition to filling my own garden with home propagated flowers, I am growing small amounts of salad, veg and edible flowers for two great restaurants – The King and Thai in Broseley and the Raven in Much Wenlock. My greenhouse is presently full of :-
Tomatoes – Costoluto Fiorentino, Gardeners delight and Red Alert
Runner beans – St George, Tenderstar and White Lady
Cucumber – La Diva
Climbing french beans – Fasgold,Cobra and Blauhide
Borlotti beans – Lingua de Fuoca 2
Courgettes – Trombanico, Romanesco, Zephyr F1 and Venus F1
Chard – Bright Light
Edible flowers – Borage, Viola Heartease, Calendula Indian Prince, Nasturtiums – Black Velvet, Jewel Box Rose and Alaska
All my seeds this year have come via Thompson and Morgan or Sarah Raven. I like their ranges and the prices are reasonable. Most importantly the germination rates are always good. Once they are all at their edible stages I intend to write about their taste.
Owing to days of monsoonal quantities of rain here in Shropshire last week, I decided to continue dividing perennials. Helianthus Lemon Queen and Rudbeckia herbstonne have been on the move in several customers gardens. This is the Rudbeckia from last year, and it is without doubt my favorite plant image from 2015. 
My own garden is presently full of tulips, which I am really enjoying. The Alliums will be along shortly, which is something both I and the bees love.
