« on: September 18, 2010, 22:23:48 »
I'm looking some European companies..who's got good variety of all sorts..now I'm familiar with all UK sites..and I know about Vreeken's Zaden (really good one that)...surely there is more in this side of the world.. ???
Winter is coming and one needs to prepared for those dark night...and there is still some pocket money left in purse too.... ;) ;D

There was a long thread back in January 2007 about this seed catalogue - a real work of art!

If you google 'gemuesesamen' you will find lots of German sites. Otherwise look up the translation for 'vegetables' in other languages and google. I'm sure there are masses out there!

Ohh..Granny...of course we need..one can never have too much..and the world is full of different varieties to try.. ;D..I'll just have to direct them to my box...
OH YES...I can imagine yet another plot....but it would be utter nightmare...this body of mine struggles with these 2 plots..never mind more ::)
I might be daft but 3 one would be classified as brain dead..and I'm not there yet...I might have to start learning some languages....my German is bit rusty too, but practice makes perfect, I wonder how many seed packets would I have to order before my German would become fluent ??? ;D

1ust a thought for anyone who needs storage for seeds, the Co-op has big tins of quality street, roses & celebrations for £4.75. Cheap seed storage ;D ;D ;D.

..talking about storage...my seeds are starting to 'grow out' of my 'new' storage box..
I'm wondering now if I were to make my redundant freezer into storage ....3 draws and a shelf..box of dry 'swell gel' into bottom to keep things dry...would it be suitable.. ???..obviously I would not plug it on... ::)

There has been mention of moles seeds before but I must say their sweetcorn has been brilliant I think that I had 98% germination and  98% good viable plants.
