Padron pepper plants for sale | from ?1.50 |


Recommended Posts

Edited to update on availability & to add padron peppers...


You say tomato, I say we need some space!


Clearing the patio of surplus tomato plants. There are a couple of different varieties. Most (1 & 3) are grown from Heritage Seed Library (HSL) seed. HSL aims to conserve varieties that are not widely available so you're unlikely to pick these ones up at the garden centre.


The plants are all around 30cm in height (from base to top of plant). Good root systems. Pop them into larger pots / the ground and they will grow at a crazy speed.


1. Green Zebra - ?2 each - NOW GONE


2. San Marzano - ?1.50 - NOW GONE


3. Verna Orange and Cernetu - ?1.75 each - RESERVED


Oh dear someone (me!) didn't label these very well so I have a batch of tomato plants which are a mix of Verna Orange and Cernetu. At this stage there's no way to tell.


Verna Orange produces large oxheart fruits. Described as dense, meaty, sweet in flavour.


Cernetu is a bit of a mystery. I purchased the seed at a Seedy Sunday event from the Heritage Seed Library stand but can find no information about it! I daresay I bought it because it sounded interesting so I can't imagine it will be a disappointment.


4. Padron pepper plants - ?1.50 to ?1.75 (the smaller plants would probably prefer a bit more growing-on under cover before going outside)


Pimientos de Padron are the Spanish peppers that appear on tapas menus (fried in olive oil and served with salt flakes). They form really sturdy, branching plants and the chillies are usually picked quite small. Most will be mild but every now and then you'll get a hot one. Grow them larger if you want to increase your chances of feeling the burn! They grow well in this climate in a sunny spot. In a hot summer they grow especially well. It's not necessary to grow them under cover although we find we get a better harvest from plants grown in our plastic greenhouse.

Collection from Forest Hill.


Weekends and evening preferred.

I've updated the original post. All toms now gone or reserved.


I have some padron pepper plants left and reduced prices a little (as really you need 4 or 5 plants to keep you in a good supply of peppers over the summer).


I will be in East Dulwich this Saturday morning from 10-12 if collection from there suits you better than Forest Hill.

    • CPR Dave, attendance records are available on Southwark's website. Maggie Browning has attended 100% of meetings. Jon Hartley has attended 65%.
    • I do hope NOT, wouldn't trust Farage as far as I could throw him, Starmer & co.  He's backed by GB News which focus's predominantly on immigration while the BBC focus predominantly on the Israel - Gazza conflict.   
    • Everyone gets the point that Corbynites try to make with the "total number of votes cast" statistic, it's just a specious one.  In 2017, Corbyn's Labour got fewer votes than May's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes). In 2019, Corbyn's Labour fewer votes than Johnson's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes); and he managed to drop 2.7 million votes or 6.9% of vote share between the two elections. I repeat, he got trounced by Boris F***ing Johnson and the Tories after the Brexit omnishambles. It is not true that a "fairer" electoral system would have seen Labour beat the Tories: Labour simply got fewer votes than the Tories. Corbyn lost twice. There is no metric by which he won the general election. His failure to win was a disaster for the UK, and let Johnson and Truss and Sunak into office. Corbynites have to let go of this delusion that Corbyn but really won somehow if you squint in a certain way. It is completely irrelevant that Labour under Corbyn got more votes than Labour under Starmer. It is like saying Hull City was more successful in its 2014 FA Cup Final than Chelsea was in its 2018 FA Cup Final, because Hull scored 2 goals when Chelsea only scored 1. But guess what - Chelsea won its game and Hull City lost. Corbyn's fans turned out to vote for him - but an even larger group of people who found him repellant were motivated enough to show up and vote Tory.
    • I guess its the thing these days to demonstrate an attitude, in this instance seemingly of the negative kind, instead of taking pride in your work and have standards then 🤷‍♀️
