    Well within the last week three seed catalogues appeared in the mailbox. I was over the moon.
    It is always great to get them, and I can just sit down with a cup of tea and pour over them like a child with a comic book.

    I even went so far as to place a big order to T&M. I had to include orders for a couple of fellow allotmenteers as well.

    I just look at the covers and my mind begins working overtime...

    I got these three back in August. The weather here kept me from even being interested in looking thru them, but with the cool down this week I think I am ready to check them out.

    Yeah, that cool weather clicks some kind of catalogue switch in our brains, doesn´t it?

    I've had four so far - Spaldings, Bakker, Mirror Garden and T&M and I'm expecting to get another few in the weeks ahead. Chiltern's seed catalogue is always worth waiting for and I also expect the Wiggly Wiggler's one any time now.

    I should have a few coming. I just ordered a catalog from Stokes seed, that should arrive around Nov.

    Have only received the T&M at the moment. We are thinking of building some raised beds and growing some mini veg next year. I see that T&M have a good selection of seeds. Anyone else tried the mini vegs?

    Sjoerd here is a link to thw Wiggly Wigglers website.

    http://www.wigglywigglers.co.uk/shop/index.html

    They are UK based so I don't know if they would deliver to you. They have a wide range of native wildflowers, trees and plants which is why I love them. :-D

    Well, T&M is really on the ball. Mine came yesterday. I think all gardeners have a common mind. Here we go again.

    No Cats yet but I didn't order from any of them last year so I may not get any.

    None here yet either. I only ordered from Stokes this year so I know I should at least get that one.

    I got one from Raintree Nursery this afternoon. They specialize in fruits and trees.
    I found some Lingonberry bushes that will grow in my zone so I think I will have to try them.

    Do you think that they would ship to holland, Toni? hahahaha. I've been trying to get a certain sort of plum tree and Philadelphus for a couple of years now.
