Catalogue
The list below is what is actually in the seed store today. When a line sells out it
is removed rather than marked unavailable, so if it is here, we have it.
Brassicas

Out this year: no parsnip and no chicory — both crops ran to seed unevenly in
the dry spring and we would not want to sell what we harvested. Both should return
next January.
