  • Anyone got any good sites for buying heirloom tomatoes?

    Wanting to grow the whacky and wonderful next year and was just wondering if anyone knew any good sites? Is seedparade any good?
    anything extra would be a bonus, like heirloom peppers, colourful carrots etc

    I found Nicky's Nursery had a good selection. I'm sure other people will have other recommendations too.

      Just had a look there, a really nice selection, thank you =) It also seems to do BHUT Jolokia, which i've always wanted to try and grow, not eat but just grow haha

        Oh dear, another chilli-head in the making then!!

        Seriously though, Real Seeds is worth looking at too

          Was going to say Real Seeds too, they're very good with excellent ethics too.

          Some of us live in the past, always talking about back then. Some of us live in the future, always planning what we are going to do. And, then there are those, who neither look behind or ahead, but just enjoy the moment of right now.

          Which one are you and is it how you want to be?

                I dont know about heirloom tomatoes but More Veg had purple and white carrots when I last visited. Think the Organic Gardening Catalogue had some too.

                    Grew Centiflor this year with great success, but they get so large. It gets hard to harvest them in a small greenhouse.
                    Wont bother next year, but did save some seeds
