Still looking,Moles will get my `trade`order for herbs and cucumbers-but after that it`s a case of looking and thinking `what do I fancy`?

We went to an old walled garden a few weeks ago and Jen had never seen `yard long beans`-might try them this year

PS - not wanting to be 2 anal about this but i am also going to program everything i need to plant into my outlook calander or MS Project so that i know what needs to be planted when, where and how long it takes to grow.

That's an absolutely BRILLIANT idea. I have written software to do this kind of thing and never realised that the solution was at hand.

We have a series of catalogues that go to plotholders then we put in bulk order for everybody. That we make money for the allotment society.

We also sell stuff in a shop.

I think I have enough seeds to last me 20 years ;D. I bought a huge amount in the Wyevale sale (and I still have a load from last years sale!), I've also ordered from Real Seeds for the first time (very impressed) and will have some from the Heritage Seed Library.

I only have to order my spuds and I'm done! I was thinking about ordering them from Simpsons and would be interested to know if anyone else had ordered spuds from them before.

Baker Creek who have rareseeds in the US are one of the best US ones,I get a   lot of my squash from them and my rare beans they have a good online catalogue and their shipping prices are very low.  XX Jeannine

I did get tempted by Baker Creek on Cambourne's advice and I bought several packs of beans and squashes.

I thought that the pack sizes were very reasonable and the cost was pretty low.
