Cheap seeds

This morning, I managed to clear a bit of bind weed & horse tail infested plot to sow some parsley and coriander seeds.

Both parsley and coriander prefer slightly shadey positions, so they have been sown at the back of the plot in front of the jerusalem artichokes.

The parsley cost me £1.50 from the garden center - the coriander seeds, however, cost 90p from Sainsburys. Someone told me that many of the seeds in spice refils you can get from supermarkets will germinate, so at a 1/4 the price by weight, I thought I’d give it a go.

Last year I sucessfully grew some sweet peppers from the seeds of a Sainsburys ‘taste the difference’ range red pepper and I have my fingers crossed after putting some onion squash seeds in pots obtained from a squash I bought last year at the farmer’s market.
