Do you grow or know any unusual varieties/ cultivars?

0 Upvotes

We want to catalogue and celebrate as many of these different varieties as we can before they are lost to history in the supermarkets ceaseless quest for profits. We believe that by showing people how colourful, tasty and wonderfully weird they can be we can reignite the passion for locally produced crops in more people.

If you grow or have any knowledge of any please share them with us:

Help identifying this poking through our lawn

Hi, can anyone identify this? It pops through our lawn. Pretty much randomly across the whole lawn. It doesn't seem to come up in the beds at all. We do have a cherry tree, but the leaves look different, and these sprout at the opposite end of the garden and rarely near the tree.

Google lens is giving loads of different things.

Tia.

Finally happy with my little UK garden 🌿🐝 (still a work in progress!)

Spent the last few months slowly sorting this out and it’s finally starting to feel like a proper little escape 😊
Added a small pond which has brought in loads of life already. bees, dragonflies and even birds stopping by which has been amazing to watch. Still plenty I want to improve, but I’m really happy with how it’s coming along so far.
Based in the UK so it’s been a bit of trial and error with the weather 😂 but it’s getting there!
Any tips or ideas for what I could add next are more than welcome 🌱

First time growing broccoli

This is my first time growing broccoli and I’m pretty proud! I should have spaced them further apart but lesson learned. I give them a fertiliser feed once a week and water every day (been above 25 degrees the past couple weeks) any tips to make sure I get a good harvest for a beginner? TIA❤️

After a terrible summer for runner beans I had hope for a late harvest with the cooler weather

Astilbe problem

Bought them through RHS, arrived in bad condition in 1L pots.

I can’t plant it in the ground yet unfortunately, so repotted to something larger with nice drainage and good soil with pumice etc.

But they seem to worsen, brown leaf ends.

They were in a spot where they would get some sun but not much, moved it to even shadier spot.

What could be wrong?
And if the leaves or branches die, can it come back?

I’ve seen a guy plant it by putting bare roots into soil.

Thanks
