Choosing Four Packets of Free Seeds

It's that wonderful time of year when the Digger's Gardening Club (based at two sites in Victoria) put out their Autumn catalogue and I get to pick 4 free packets of seeds! The problem is though, that with 15 varieties to choose from I can't make up my mind.



Which of the following should I pick?

1. Pea Greenfeast
2. Turnip Mini
3. Lettuce Australian Yellow Leaf
4. Kohhlrabi
5. Coriander
6. Gambler's Choice Broccoli
7. Five Colour Silverbeet
8. Red Pak Choy F1
9. Onion Barletta
10. Spinach Bloomsdale
11. Poppy Flanders
12. Parsley Continental
13. Nasturtium Scarlet Emperor
14. Radish Round Red
15. Gambler's Choice Sweet Peas

We get to choose 8 preferences and so far I'm set on:

** Five Colour Silverbeet (for the novelty - the stalk colourings include BRIGHT yellow, fuchsia and orange (not on the same plant, though. Now that would be something!)


** Peas Greenfeast (easy peasey!)


** Poppy Flanders (Been meaning to get a large area coverage quantity of these seeds to give to GK band members but I've never gotten round to it, so I might as well get a packet and trial them)


I'll probably use the free seed offer as an opportunity to try the things like Kohlrabi. May have to do a bit of research first!
