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.
