Next batch of catalogues and first order placed
Well the next two catalogues have arrived;
The Real Seed Catalogue is a 28 page A5 tome. No pictures, but excellent descriptions enable you to create your own picture of what the seeds will grow into. Also lots of other information is provided. Most of their seeds are 'heirlooms' and none are hybrid (F1) so plenty of seeds to collect at the end of the growing season.
Thomson & Morgans catalogue is a full colour A5 volume, plenty of pictures so you can pick just what you are after. Unfortunately this did not arrive as a result of my request, but was sent to my old address as I had ordered previously. I've never been impressed with T&M's customer service, and it's not getting any better.
So I have now placed my first order for next year from The Real Seed Catalogue. I've really got into Chillis over the past few years so i've ordered a few different varieties (Iranian Round, Alberto's Locoto, Rote Keile and Yellow Aji) along with a few tomato, cucumber, sweet pepper and other varieties (Dedo de Mocha sweet Aji Pepper, Sunnybrook sweet pepper, Latah Tomato, Lettuce Leaf Tomato, Bleu de Solaise leek, Exploding Cucumber, Miniature White Cucumber, Tondo di Piacenza Courgette, Seven Hills Brussels Sprout and Double Standard Sweetcorn). That lot will keep me busy for a while.

Welcome back, I found your site some time ago and wondered what had happened to you. Sorry you were flooded.
Our allotment is in East Oxford at Links Allotments at the top of Cumberland Road on Barracks Lane.
Good luck with the digging. We share your aching limbs!
Thanks for your encouragement. The digging, as always, is taking longer than expected. We have a second session scheduled for this week and that should break the back of it.
Hello,
Sorry to bother you but I am trying to spread the message about the nationwide problems with contaminated manure. I hope you have heard about it - if not try this link to our website http://www.glallotments.btik.com/p_Contaminated_Manure.ikml
You may have already done this but I am afraid I haven't had time to browse your website fully, but if not would you consider placing a warning on your website as this problem hasn't gone away - contaminated manure could be in the system for a year or two yet even if the herbicide that has been temporarily withdrawn is never used again.
Now is the time that many gardeners will be obtaining manure and anything we can do to prevent others from experiencing the problems faced this year is worth a try.
I agree with this wholeheartedly. It pays to know where your manure is coming from and what is in it.
