Seed Catalogs

Question from Bobbie: Can you recommend a good vegetable seed catalog for Europe (Germany) preferably organic. I’ll be setting up a garden there next month.

Answer from Pat: From your query I’m not sure if you are wanting to take seeds over there or want to purchase them when you arrive? The Fischer Company in Germany is famous for developing many plant varieties but I’m not sure if they have a seed outlet. I believe it may be against the law for you to take seeds with you. I would wait until you get there and purchase the seeds you find for sale locally. In France I have always been delighted with the seeds and plants I found for sale at local nurseries and even in grocery or hardware stores. Usually one finds many avid gardeners in Europe. I would recommend you look at the gardens close to where you live, see what they are growing with success and follow suit.
