Ahem, you mean you...

Not exactly huge I'm afraid. In fact its a rather modest assemblage
of varieties. Seed suppliers here do far, far better than that. I
used to think that US seed suppliers might be able to offer exciting
and/or different varieties than we can get here. Sadly, quite the
opposite is true and I've yet to see comparable seed lists of
ornamentals from the other side of the Atlantic. As to stuff like
toms etc. those varieties that ripen in a US summer rarely perform
well this far north. UK based suppliers offer a bigger range of
better varieties more suited to the growing conditions here.


Some of his pepper seeds look interesting though, does anyone know of a seed
supplier in the UK who has some of the more exotic varieties?...perhaps
hungarian wax and jalapenos for starters and maybe a few others to try?

Want some jalapenos, then? I can soon dry a few for you.

I'm ordering some from the catalogue mentioned by Bob H above, although I
can't find anywhere to fill in details to recieve an actual catalogue, if
they don't do paper catalogues I'll order online, but thanks for the offer.

"The Organic Gardening Catalogue" (http://www.organiccatalog.com/catalog)
has some - perhaps not exactly a huge selection, 7 varieties of hot pepper
and 13 of sweet, but they do include both Jalapeno and Hungarian Wax
(http://www.organiccatalog.com/catalo...th=21_22_23_36). They
are a bit more expensive than other companies I think, so if you're not
concerned about growing organic probably not worth using as a main source,
but they do seem to have more unusual varieties of seeds. I haven't tried
growing any peppers from their seeds yet (only got my allotment this June)
but I have had good results with other seeds from them: delivered nice and
quick, and so far they've produced good crops (well, apart from a sowing
Oakleaf lettuce that was almost completely devoured by slugs in one night).

HTH,
Andy

I can recommend a good site, I have been using them on ebay for a few years now, and I have had an excellent germination rate, I can highly recommend their telegraph plant, chinese allspice and chinese wisteria, they are in the UK and very helpful with a large and unusual selection of seeds to choose from.
Last week I ordered from their website and the seeds were delivered within 2 days, now thats what I call service.
