The Links that I use

There are huge lists available from many sites - some of the big ones make up the first offerings below. After that, the list will be those which I have found to be particularly useful to me, but will doubtless soon start to expand to include other people's recommendations. I will try to keep some limits imposed, however, and will try to keep current those which do make the list.

Biggies

The general lists that take you in one jump far beyond where I can possibly go.The sites of interest to gardeners come first, with a more botanical orientation lower down the list

Common name index B and T

A common to scientific name index with about 25,000 entries. B and T World Seeds, a French company with a fantastic list of seeds on offer.

Seed germination TomC

Tom Clothier's data on germination of annuals and biennials. This is the first of three pages to complete the alphabetical listing

Botanicsoup BS
