Title: Vegetable seeds
Post by: HappyHippy on February 14, 2009, 05:07:42 pm

Hi,
I found this website
http://www.realseeds.co.uk/index.html (http://www.realseeds.co.uk/index.html)
The varieties they sell are not F1 hybrids, so you can collect the seeds and store for the following year.
They also give quite comprehensive instructions for how to collect, dry & store seeds.
Thought it might be usefull  :D

I ordered quite a few different things from them last year and was really pleased with results.  One of the best was sweetcorn - Double standard bicolour, also long de mezieres leeks and golden sweet mange-tout peas.  In fact I'm going to go on their website now and order some more stuff!

My kind of company! I used to be with the Seed Library until recently but found £ 35 membership fee a bit steep for  a few packets of seed. I rather support something local & the Magazine was all about HRH here and there...Has anyone seen the Kokopelli Catalogue? They have lovely rare varieties but it's by membership, I think. :&>
