Title: pornography for gardeners
Post by: greenstar on December 31, 2008, 22:56:32
 ;) Which seed catalogues are you all ordering this year?  And which ones do you reckon are best for getting your sap rising?  I've only got the usual so far and am looking for something a bit more exotic this year.

Catalogues I have received were DT Browns and Dobies.  I have ordered a few packs of seeds from Mr-Fothergills and T&M; but 85-90% of my order comes from Kings.

You could try Real Seeds (Google it). Their list has major drool-appeal for me anyway....lots of ususual heritage varieties with interesting names. The Garden Organic catalogue is always worth a read. I always end up ordering too many seeds, so I'm trying to be more disciplined this year....but of course it won't last. ::)

For paper catalogues (not websites) I like Crocus because the photos are really nice, even though they don't put all their plants in the catalogue. And they put nice looking combinations together.

Whereas some of the catalogues like Suttons or T&M have tiny poor quality photos of squillions of plants in alphabetical order - they seem to clash.

It's paper catalogues I'm looking for - I can be a bit more disciplined with them.  Plus I can take them to bed with me...
