them?  I sow mine direct into the garden, give them a watering and stand well back - germination within a fortnight usually. My favourite variety for flavour and reliability at the moment is Lucullus http://www.thompson-morgan.com/vegetables/vegetable by Tabbycats

Unusual seed purchases
I recall seeing on Gardeners World a place in the Midlands where you could go and purchase unusual vegetable seeds that are no longer sold in the UK by becoming a member, but I can't remember the name of the place.  Can anyone help? Thanks Try by Vegiegirl

Shopping for seeds
for. You might be surprised !!! HAPPY SHOPPING!!! Alternatively try saving the seeds from selected vegetables at the end of the growing season. It takes a while to work out but it's worthwhile in the end! by Ju3
