They have all sorts of things and also specialise in Agapanthus and
other S. African natives.

It is _so_ spooky that you posted your query. I had been thinking that
many on this ng would be interested in what they offer and was trying
to think of a diplomatic way of mentioning this company without being
accused of being a spammer.

HTH.


It sounds an extremely interesting place and I'm sure you couldn't be
thought a spammer for recommending something about gardening to
gardeners! ;-)


Well if it is spam (which I don't think it is) it certainly works.
I've just bought some tomato seeds from them

At the end of our club evening I bought two tomato seed types -

1. Yellow Pear Beams - small and very sweet which I know the grandkids
will pillage (which is why I bought them).

2. Ruth's Perfect - originally from the USA and said to be "almost
completely problem free and perfect in most ways". For £1 I felt I can't
really go wrong.

I also bought one of the sweet peas - Grandiflora "Painted Lady" - said
to date from c. 1737.

Anyway, I look forward to seeing what comes up. My wife was also greatly
taken with the Agapanthi(?) and I have a feeling further investment may
be imminent.

Hope your tomatoes grow well.
