Topic: The mother of all seed catalogues

[dandelion]

I dont know if you all read French or not, bit there is a thing on the back of the envelpoe they send, which gives you a free pack of seeds if you recomend a friend to get a catalogue.

I should have got at least 20 packets of free seed then  :o :o :o :o!

You have to fill in the form and send it off with the name and address. Maybe you could get interested people on this thread to PM  you their address, and you send it off ;D

I have used them for a couple of years, their delivery is superb and the amounts of seeds generous. The sheer volume of varieties puts our seed companies to shame

Hey Pigletwillie,

have you ever tried their extra long french beans? They look marvellous, but the description doesnt say stringless. I'd like to try them , but dont want to be de stringing all those beans!!!

I am trying to decide what I may need next year too, as delivery is a bit expensive. Well, to tell the truth, its more like trying to decide what to leave out ::) Far too much temptation ;D ;D

I think those need a bit more heat than French beans. I've seen them for sale in the Asian grocery shops. I've not tried them though.

My copy of the catalogue arrived yesterday! Sat reading and muttering to myself,while OH says WE HAVE ENOUGH SEEDS! DO YOU HEAR!!!!!!!

[Emagggie]

Oooooh well I have just sent for one, it looks the bizzo. re. the postcode thingy, what did you all do?
I tried the 0000, so ever hopeful.

Oh my God what have you done. I have an entire salad drawer in the fridge full of seeds, have spent a week trying to catalogue them, accidentally ordered yet more this evening, and then you go and do this! I have no willpower faced with seed catalogues.

I'm going to have to buy a new fridge... ::)

[carolinej]

I am particularly interested in the seeds on p.314, no.9286. They seem to be rabbit seeds. I was wondering if they are of the all female variety, or if , like some cucumbers, you have to pick off the males. lol

Still haven't received mine yet, it took me quite a few attempts to get it to accept my address, perhaps I haven't done it right?! :'(

[quizzical1]

Not impressed with the french translation of "seed potatoes". Sounds a bit messy to me!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[mikey]

Just ordered catalogue... fingers crossed

went into their online catalogue ... wow !!! what a range of Tomato and Beans... prices not bad, roughly in line with UK for Tomato

[supersprout]

Oh My, oh Ma! It's arrived! :o ;D
