On your recommendation just done a search for tuckers seed. Only one i came up with was; Edwin Tucker seed of devon. Is this the same?

If so the website seems to be working ok now.

Rich - yes - Edwin Tucker.

I've found another one (flowers etc, not veg): www.plantworld-devon.co.uk. Danger - they have about 20-30 aquilegias and I don't have most of them.

You should Richard.  T&M are outrageously expensive and I really  do not rate their service.  However, their catalogues are gorgeous to look through, almost like mini encyclopedias!  
I personally think it pays to shop around.  Some companies have interesting little deals, or freebies if you spend 'X' amount of pounds, or free postage and packing.  Mind you, it depends how much time you have on your hands to plough through all the different books.  Me, I would rather sit reading than watching Eastenders on the telly! ;D

Got my Tuckers, got my tuckers doodeedooddeoeoeoeoeo!

How can you resist them, they are free, well most of them, most are full of tantalising pics of veggies and flowers, and the prices vary so you can compare, and some have interesting snippets of info about sowing dates, cropping, little hints and tales.  

you are lucky that you can afford to stick with the most expensive seed catalogue!! :o

Who me? Are T&M expensive compared to otheres then? I thought the prices were reasonable.



Richard, Have a look at my thread on the Edible Board called Seed catalogue Comparison. You will see most of the big names come out worst on price and pack size, the smaller suppliers like Tuckers/Kings/HDRA work out much better value and in some cases much better/more interesting choice!

Richard, Did you mean the Heritage list that Hydra supply to members of their seed library? If so, you can see a list of the varieties they have grown this year. There is a link on the Heritage Seed Library page to something like "varieties grown this year". Otherwise, yes the organicacatalogue is the place to look.

No, Imeant the proper seed catalogue, which i have now found and ordered a copy of.

I am pleased to see they stock seed of at least some of my favored crops (especialy tomatoes). :)

Call me an stick in the mud if you like but I like to stick to things i know we/I like to eat. Not that i havent experimented. I seem to try one new/differnt tomato varity each year in addition  to the usual faves (Gardeners Delight and Shirley). This year the 'trial' one was an orange type called sungella. We didnt like it  except in soup ( ;D).

It just depends what happens to be given away free in Amateur Gardening magazine (which we subscribe to).

I am though keen to try the variety 'Ferline'. Having suffered blight two years out off the last 3, I an keen to test its resistance.

One veg i will not experiment with is runner beans. 'White Lady' is the best in my veiw.

I will if possible 'experiment' with seed companies to try to get the best value seed.
