My seeds are chosen by price, especially if they're free (but you won't be surprised by that!).
Most of the coloured catalogues that drop through the letterbox go straight in the bin. I've been bitten too many times by the retailers' hype, fancy names and photo shopped images to believe anything they say. Before I'm criticised, I have tried to stop them being delivered but they ignore me.
I like Chiltern seeds catalogue because it doesn't have photos but is educational, I learn the Latin names and their meanings and I can go to their website for more information - although, I'm not finding their new website so easy to use.
Ethical companies like Real Seeds and Franchi are my preferred retailers - if I have to spend money.
I have a few favourite varieties that I grow every year and I'll grow a few new ones each year - usually from seeds from G&G or that I've picked up at seed swaps.
