So, here's the thing: everyone talks about seed catalogues, about spending winter browsing the pages, about the joy of seed distributors. Why?
Having flicked through a few, the prices seem on a par with those in good garden centres, and unless you're limited to the DIY sheds, the choice is also replicated in good garden centres. Also, if one catalogue-based supplier doesn't have a certain item, I'm into another form (either paper or on-line), another supplier to keep track of, another set of my details out there somewhere, and another thing for Postie to lose! At the garden centre, I just step over to the next rack.
Now, accepting that I am not only new to this lark, plus an idiot, can someone please enlighten me to the benefits of seed catalogue-based businesses.
I don't want to make what seems like an obvious move and regret it later.
