Title: seed catalogue riddle
Post by: suhayb on December 28, 2005, 03:15:28
I got a great catalogue through the post. i wanted to order potatoes and some squash seeds from it.  The misses had a clear out and the catalogue disappeared!
i cant for the life of me remember what the company was!
i have searched the internet to no avail, so the riddle is what was the company?

Here are the clues!

1)1st half is on veg seeds, 2nd sections is on flowers seeds, another sections for potatoes, onion, garlic etc and the last section is for fertilizers, compost, fleece etc
2)has a mainly white cover with a plain white spine about 0.5cm thick.
3)it is very thick (like me i guess)! Thickest seed catalogue i have ever seen infact.
4) a few pages near the middle are colour pictures of flowers and veg, 2 of these pages are of squashes and pumpkins.
5)the potato section has tables listing the varieties that are good for baking, boiling etc also lists varieties that are resistant to various diseases
6)the inside of the front cover has pictures of heirloom potatoes offered in 1kg packs.

if you don't recognise it from this description no more info will help!

i you think you know pleeeeeeeeeeease tell me, its driving me mad, ( as you have probably guessed since i am asking such a silly question and at 3.15am!)

just ordered my copy up as well, plus 2 others for family who may be interested.

You know it's amazing, you think you've seen all the catalogues there is to see, then someone pops up with something different, well they say variety is the spice of life and I think allotmenteering has all the variety in life that anyone needs (including spice!!)
