Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!

HI Fellow Harringay Gardeners,

Sonya here. Was wondering if anyone has any spare seeds for my school's little garden - used by nursery and reception classes. I was wanting some salad/veg things - anything they can eat really. Was really looking for sorrel seeds and/or chard seeds (rainbow or green) but am open to any donations.

PLease contact me via HoL if you can help,

Thanks,

Sonya

Hi Sonya

I can let you have seeds left over from the swap.

Edibles 

  • cabbage (pixie and golden acre)
  • chilli
  • Sweetcorn
  • Flat leaf parsley
  • spring onion (white lisbon)
  • parsnip
  • onion (ailsa craig)
  • sugar peas (bb Dec 2013)
  • winter squash

There's also a few flowers

  • Phlomis (jerusalem sage)
  • Zinnia
  • Poppy (Hensol Violet)
  • Nicotinia (white)
  • Aqualegia
  • Hollyhocks

If you want any I can bring them to school.

We missed you at the seed swap Sonya.  Would you like one of your comfrey plants back?  They are now reaching impressive dimensions.

Thanks Liz, can I pick them up after school tomorrow or Friday? x Sonya

Thanks Dick too - I won't need anymore as all mine have had loads of babies and I have a whole garden full of comfrey now - but they are all nearly flowering and that's great news for my apples and pears to be pollinated by the bees, as I have discovered that comfrey flowers at the exact time you need them for the fruit trees. Then after that just chop them down to make comfrey tea - for the plants of course!

Thanks again,

x Sonya
