Variable Results with Seeds


Coleslaw

I made coleslaw with some of my first winter cabbage, it was lovely. The cabbage is sweet and the seed was a good choice - Unwins Gro-sure Cabbage Kilaxy. According to the packet it is clubroot resistant and results are guaranteed. Every seed germinated, unlike some other seeds I used this year. 

Only three out of a dozen sweetcorn seeds germinated, a friend kindly supplied me with more plants. I had little luck with the winter squash seeds I bought, only one grew and that plant had one very small squash. 

Apart from those two disappointments, however, most seeds grew successfully, especially the leeks.
