I cannot be alone in abhorring the current "seed" catalogues. Big glossy

In the U.S. we have Fedco, which is a cooperative. Rather plain catalog on
cheap paper, black and white line drawings (If any). Oh, and absolute
marvels in every seed category. I hope there's an analog in the U.K. I
know the Seed Saver's Exchange, though U.S. based, has many members across
the various ponds, and a yearbook of offerings that always ignites the "Kid
in the Candy Store" syndrome.
