Having already mentioned the total failure of lettuce Mottistone I received another packet from Suttons, these were sown together with lettuce from real seeds. The later have germinated the Mottistone nothing.
I have also failed wth pea Ambassador, again from Suttons, the Heritage peas sown on the same day germinated almost 100%.
I wonder if the wet weather we had in August last year is to blame?
I have treated myself to the seed saving book recommended by real seeds, so I can have a go at producing my own fresh seed, really fed up of spending loads of money for no return.
