Pardon our appearance
Oh no! Something has gone horribly wrong. Content has vanished without trace from our new improved look. I’m working on it. Or rather, I will be later in the day. Sorry.

OK, we’re more or less back in business here. Still some tweaking and such to do — header pictures, for one thing — but basically fine.

Seed Sources
Fork and Bottle, a “guide to eating, drinking and living”, recently updated its page of seed sources. The page offers personal experiences and recommendations from two dedicated growers in the USA.
I have added the link as an update to our page of Seed Exchanges; I’d be happy to add any others you send.
