• July 2020 the 20/21 catalogue is now available  to download from this website. This is version one and we will do a final version when our order arrives but suspect this won't be until summer.

• June 2020 update  if the variety you are looking for is not on this website it means we have sold out. Currently Italy is  working at about 20% for testing requirements so we are unsure when our next order wil be processed and received. We will be putting up a new version 1  catalogue in the next few weeks and this will be updated. Sorry about this but we are working with a family-run seed company whose priorities are in Italy and naturally this is most important at this time.
