Cosy little catalogue from Sarah Raven. The only Director that I know of who answers the 'phone herself.

I love Sarah Raven's catalogue and book, bought lots of seeds last year and did really well.  They are a bit pricey but so many different varieties... :)

One thing She has done for me is to show that I was not alone in getting 'crazing' on my Jalapenos!!

As you probably now know Tim, you're meant to have crazing - that's the sign of a good jalapeno  - but I can't think of any other variety where the same thing applies...anyone else know of one?


PS I have also bought a variety of seeds from Sarah Raven and they've all done well,

Oooh, I have just looked through her catalogue and am inspired.  I have all my veggie seeds for this year but it is her flowers I love. ummmm, I am wondering about digging a new border as a cutting garden, it would be lovely.  It looks to be a good gardening weekend here weatherwise....  I wonder if I will be allowed... :-\

Absolutely Tim! And she's very pleasant to chat to (mind you, I was buying a ton of stuff in her shop at the time...). Good, that's yet another catalogue to look forward to!

Cheers,
Rob ;)

Catalogue, Wendy - or website?

It's the former that's so cosy.

You can't beat sitting down with a catalogue and a cup of tea.... my idea of heaven.  Seed catalogues or Lakeland are the best!
