What seed catalogues do you all use?

I'm having trouble finding one that does everything I need. I didn't think my list for this year contained anything obscure Confused but Suttons, Unwins and Thingummy & Doodah don't have what I'm after. I'd rather order from one place than have to do several separate orders. TIA.

I have yet to find 'The One'. I normally find most in T&M then buy a few specials from a local garden centre. I will be watching with interest. :)

I use Dobies but generally end up ordering a few bits from others too

It is a law of seed ordering that no single catalogue, however extensive, will be able to satisfy your exact variety requirements.

This year I managed to find my preferred oddball tomato in the garden centre (sungella - tastes like sungold, but a bit bigger, yum), stopped being quite so precious about other veg (if there was just one runner bean variety that is truly better than all the others we would know about it), and used Sarah Raven for beautiful flowers I can't get anywhere else.

Ooh, I've found one! I only want 4 different things this year because I've got no space left some big projects and two small children so not growing too many seeds.

Has anyone ordered from Chiltern Seeds before?

Chiltern Seeds are very good.

I recommend Nicky's Seeds too.

Victoriana nursery are ace for the more esoteric finds

I have bought stuff from Dobies previously
