Some new reviews from the ATP Green Pages:

Tracey recommended Pennard Plants and wrote:

Helpful and friendly (UK) company selling heritage and heirloom seeds with a great germination rate. I discovered them as I needed a company that was available to answer questions and would ship to mainland Europe. This is the place to go for those more obscure seeds.

SCButtercup recommended The Tao of Vegetable Gardening and wrote:

Got this for my birthday more than 10 months ago and I still re-read it. This has great how-to advice but also very personal reflections on the love of gardening. The subtitle puts it well: Cultivating Tomatoes, Greens, Peas, Beans, Squash, Joy, and Serenity. SO much more than a gardening book!

We keep growing, because ATP is where all the excitement is these days! Check out these numbers from last week:
