The seed detective - Small chilli - 10-10-2023 Has anyone read this book? I’ve just found it on the Franchi website. Never heard of it before, but the title and write up. Are holding my interest. Just wondering if anyone has actually read it. I’ve found it cheaper on eBay. Another book I’d like recommendations for is one on cucurbits. A good general all rounder, variety, growing, tips & cooking if such a thing exists. RE: The seed detective - Veggie - 10-10-2023 I have the Seed Detective but haven't read it yet. it was on special offer at the time £9.49 but P&P was extra, https://chelseagreen.co.uk/book/the-seed-detective-2/ You can also buy it direct from Adam Alexander - his website is worth a look. https://theseeddetective.co.uk/my-book/...........and you can buy his seeds for £1 a packet.

It’s now in my watch list along with 3 pumpkin books I’ve found, that look quite good. Just looked at his website, a little eccentric looking sat in his convertible with his Hawaiian shirt and pink trousers! RE: The seed detective - Veggie - 10-10-2023 I think he's a character! What pumpkin books have you found? I'll search my favourite websites for them. RE: The seed detective - Small chilli - 10-10-2023 [attachment=7137] This one is an auction on eBay. Another 4 days to go. No bids yet. I’m watching it very closely because it’s a bargain if it stays at its starting bid. (99p at present) + £2.75 postage [attachment=7138] This is £3 with free post. Apparently it generalises quite a bit, but it’s £3 [attachment=7139] This £3.50 with free postage. Slated by one review, loved by lots of others. [attachment=7140] This is £15 including postage. Not found any reviews on this one. I think it’s only the last one that you might be able to find cheaper. I think the others will be hard to beat.
