[Biscombe]

Just found this seed site, they sell loads of unusual and oriental seeds, I'm off for further investigation

Looks interesting, though they don't give any details about shipping outside of North America. I've emailed them a question, but as they are in California I doubt I'll get a response much before 4.30pm

[Biscombe]

Have sent them an email too!! They'll wonder whats going on!!  ;) :D

[Jeannine]

Biscombe shame on you, sending us another seed company.. can't chat right now, have to go  and look !!!! XX Jeannine

[Biscombe]

Oh no!! the plastics going to get some more hammer!!

[Rhubarb Thrasher]

their carrots look gorgeous, and the red turnip too

[Biscombe]

Dont get too excited, they dont ship outside USA  :(

[Deb P]

Oh no, shame..... :'(

[Jeannine]

They have agreed to send to me, I am waiting for the quote back now on the  price of the bigger packets I asked about,and I also want to know there shipping charges .Will keep you up to date as I get to know. XX Jeannie

[Biscombe]

Where theres a will theres a way!!  ;) cant wait to see how you get on!fancy some of the aubergines!!!!

[Jeannine]

They did say in their e amail they would ship but will not replace if lost with International. I would have no problem with this as most companies overseas say this, I have only had 1 package go astray and that was compensated by the post office eventually. Of course their shipping charges may be ridiculous ,most are very fair but 1 conmpany I ordered from was disgusting, so we will see. If I decide to go with it as it is some of the squash I am after  in big packets I will let you know. I also fancy some of the Oriental greens as many cannot be got here,

We shall see XX Jeannine

(sob!) ME WANT PICKLING MELON! (stamps foot)  :'(

[Jeannine]

Which one I may have it XX Jeannine

[Amazin]

Any one of them would do me, Jeannine if you had a seed to spare - the very idea of pickling melon has got me going. Only trouble is, have I got a jar with a wide enough neck?

;D ;D ;D

Also like the look of the perilla (shiso), though it's available in the UK from Beans and Herbs:

By the way, did you notice the water pepper's other name?...  KNOTWEED! (cue dramatic music!)

[Jeannine]

I just looked and I don't have them , I have three melon cucumbers fro Franchi.

I do have some shiso.

I also have just had an e amil from them giving me prices for the 1/4 pound lots I was interested in  but I find their prices are high as I deliberatley put some in that I can get somewhere else in large quantities. I have amiled them back to see if they will still supply me if I buy a quantity of small packets, I think they will. I have asked for their shipping rates,if it high I won't use them but I might be able to find the pickling melon elsewhere,

I will let you know XX Jeannibe

[Jeannine]

I have found your pickling melons 3 types at Evergreen Seeds in the US,they are a company only selling Oriental veggies, they do ship to the UK $10 for up to 1pound weight and they seem to have everything that the other company had. I think I have ordered from them long time  ago, take a look XX Jeannine

[Amazin]

Great site, Jeannine, and the shipping cost of $10 is reasonable when you consider the current exchange rate - works out at just over a fiver.

I've just got a catalogue through from Plants of Distinction - their range is good too esp for Toms.
