Victorian Varieties

[Snadger]

Following on from Nic's thread for local varieties I thought you may be interested in this link for Victorian varieties!

I have ordered five packs of 'Olde Worlde' type vegetables seed from them for a fiver including delivery!
Just out of interest I have ordered :-

1)Sea Kale
2) Cardoon
3) Endive
4) Salsify
5) Climbing Pea (NE Plus Ultra)

Definately worth a look!

I have to agree with Nick - Thomas Etty are great - and their website is very educational - it includes a wonderful timeline that has the dates of the first recorded use of different veggies.
