I found Nicky's Nursery had a good selection. I'm sure other people will have other recommendations too.

Just had a look there, a really nice selection, thank you =) It also seems to do BHUT Jolokia, which i've always wanted to try and grow, not eat but just grow haha

Oh dear, another chilli-head in the making then!!

Seriously though, Real Seeds is worth looking at too

Was going to say Real Seeds too, they're very good with excellent ethics too.

I got some from Pennard plants this year.

Well I've used Real Seeds, Pennards Plants , Chiltern Seeds and Thomas Etty .........all have been good

I dont know about heirloom tomatoes but More Veg had purple and white carrots when I last visited. Think the Organic Gardening Catalogue had some too.

just looked at real seeds, nice site!. CENTIFLOR TOMATOES look real interesting to grow, never heard of them before!

Grew Centiflor this year with great success, but they get so large. It gets hard to harvest them in a small greenhouse.
Wont bother next year, but did save some seeds

spoke to them at the edible garden show and sent them some brads black heart, nice blokes.

.com doesn't seem to work, do you mean .org?

**Two_Sheds** · 24-09-2011, 07:29 AM

I reckon it is dot org: Tomato Seeds

There're also seed swaps of course

Forgot about Thomas Etty, Binley - plus I recommend subscribing to their email newsletter, its really good and very informative.

I like the Thomas Etty newletter, the olde style wording always raises a smile
