I have just stumbled across another seed merchant: the delightfully antiquated sounding Thomas Etty Esq. This one's a heritage seed specialist. I am impressed by the range of seeds on offer - three types of cardoon? Impressive.
There's also a fantastic heritage seed timetable, listing plants by probably date of introduction, plus the first literary reference to each one. There are a few species or varieties I have never heard of - bald money and elecampane among them. I've been planning a list of seed suppliers for this blog, so now is a good time to start. My other favourites currently include Vida Verde, Halcyon Seeds and Chase Organics (the HDRA catalogue).
