Title: Seed catalogues
Post by: Spireite on August 22, 2012, 18:06:22

If I am looking for specific squash varieties...is it easier to order a catalogue , or use an online seed company.  As my local 2 or 3 garden centres don't seem to stock some of the types I hear about on here.  Any recommendations??  :)

I'd check ebay to be honest, there's tons of little seed traders on there doing specialist stuff, and most of them follow a pattern of free postage after the first pack, and generally work around putting a quids worth of seed in the pack, then 60p or so postage.... I can personally recommend Midland Seed COmpany and Premier Seeds, plus Elfskin Edibles... disclaimer here, Derek is  mate of mine but I'd bought stuff from him before I realised it was the same Elfskin that I knew from the festival scene....

This is a German site close to the Belgian border. It is probably very good, however, given the perilous state of our economy, I am trying, wherever possible. to support British growers.
