Thomas Etty seem to be a very good source of older variety seeds - in fact I think this is who she went to for Skirret (which unfortunately bolted!) and her custard white marrows.
Can anyone point me in the direction of a list of vegetables I should be growing - a must have list for pre 18th C. I got an allotment late this year and so will be planting it for the first time next year. Going to spend the winter research varities and places to buy seed (that will ship to Ireland). But if anyone has any favourites or top tips I'd love to hear them.
Anything from unusual flower varities to dye plants.
