Its a good cataglogue isnt it Manda. More choice than you can shake a stick at. I got mine before Christmas and had to recommend it.

I know you did pw - all the congrats must go to you!

There's some really interesting gadgety things too - and as I put on another thread I'd like to try the 'corne de gatte' spuds. Well actually there's lots of stuff I will be looking for over here! This really hasn't helped my 'seed fever' piggie!

And you get freebies with decent sized orders! They have 'Ratte' spuds too.
My delivery arrived yesterday - 8 days after my e-mail order.

oh sue, my jealousy is getting out of control! Nevermind its a nice sunny day here at the moment (well after a short deluge!) - I shall return to the catalogue as I'm only about 20 pages in....

Hello Simon and Mandy,
Hope this isn't boring the socks off everyone! We are in Lot et Garonne near Tournon D'Agenais - very very alkaline soil (off the scales!). The soil is very stony in one part of the garden, yet a few meters away it's beautiful crumbly orange stuff. My husband thinks it's the result of glacial or river deposits.
Re the melons - try the Fiji charentais variety - they were lovely, even though I did try to start picking them too soon. You have to wait till the fruit cracks away from the stem and they smell fruity.
Sue.
