Seed catalogue recommendation?

goosie2005

Hi I'm hoping to extend the amount of fruit/ veg growing I'm doing and want to get a wish list going, what catalogue a would you recommend ( that sends to Ireland!) many thanks.

suttons, thompson and morgan, unwins. Sign up on their websites and they'll send out the catalogues for free.
Sign up to Mr Middleton too.

That's great thanks!

But check this site every month, especially the 'What to sow in (month)" diary entry down the right. Sometimes she gives the variety name and seed supplier. These would be tried and tested varieties that do well in our climate.

Agree with all the above (particularly Mr Middleton). While I try and support Irish suppliers all the way I also use Chiltern seeds (www.chilternseeds.co.uk) who are great for some unusual veg varieties. No problems with delivery to Ireland.

I don't do much growing from seed these days, but I agree about Chiltern if you want some unusual stuff. I never had much luck with Thompson and Morgan seeds though.

I definitely agree about Chiltern Seeds - www.chilternseeds.co.uk - as I have always found them very reliable.

Another thumbs up for Seedaholic, been using them for a few years now. They've a great selection and their prices are fantastic. The seeds come beautifully packaged with a little A5 sheet of paper containing lots of interesting and useful information.

Another vote for seedaholic, I also use "brown seed envelopes" - not a massive range but Irish and very, very good to deal with.

Another vote for seedaholic, get almost all my seeds from them now

The Red Ace

have not heard of seedaholic until now , I have used Premier Seeds Direct who sell on ebay uk, they have a huge catalogue and advise when to set and harvest with each advertised pkt.

Yes, it is a great service and as you say, they provide lots of info too; way above the typical back of sed pack info...
and you are supporting Irish!!
