Title: The real seed catalogue
Post by: star on September 30, 2007, 10:28:35
If anyone likes to grow organic seed......this is a lovely catalogue. No GM or F1 at all, and all hand grown and collected.

I shall certainly be trying these next season, in fact Im waiting for the cat. to arrive. ;)

I love this lot! the seed packets always have loads of information and they usually stock out of the orinary varieties. Big thumbs up from me!

 Hi all,
           I bought from them giant miike mustard & osaka mustards (plus other things for next year) & they have grown very well, These are great veg to grow from mid August onwards, giving large leaves very quickly. They are quite hot tasting raw, ideal in salads in small amounts , & when you steam them the hotness is diminished & they are great as a vegetable, a bit  like spinach.

                                                                                   Adrian.

I'll vouch for these guys - I had some Tender & True parsnips from their seed - very good germination rate and very tasty too. They also have lots of tomatoes that do well in our climate.
