A rather intriguing website and seed catalogue. - Mamzie - 16-09-2020
I was innocently browsing the internet when I must have stumbled across a time warp page. As a result I have just lost 2 hours, reading the wonderfully worded pages of this website. Along with being fascinated by some of the rather unusual seeds on offer from them, Tiger nut, Sea beet, Nodding Onion....

Yes, its a fascinating site. Never bought anything from them though I have no doubt that they're quality seeds.

Fascinating, thanks Veggie

Thanks Mamzie, truly fascinating. Hubby is currently reading vintage railway mags from 1930's and is equally wrapped up in the flowery language.

Sorry Mamzie, crédit where it is due. Fascinating web site, I may even be tempted to order if they will ship to France.

I love it too! It's just fabulous- good find Mamzie. To be honest I rarely look at seed sites these days as I don't but that much seed anymore and what I do grow is usually gifted or swapped.
Those dodgy proper packed courgette seed I had this year has put me off for life!
Who suggested to grow the trailing one to see what it was like??
I am no longer your friend......it had taken over the world.

they are both different. A friend loves Halloween and often does a little mini pumpkin display- she is getting these as a birthday present
one of them is small, creamy white or yellow with nobly bits on, the other small, green and yellow stripes. No kidding. I must have at least 50.
