Websites That We At Victoriana Like!

Not a huge list of websites, just a few that we at Victoriana like, and find useful to use...

Allotment Vegetable Growing
Allotment diaries, photographs, advice about growing vegetables, fruits and herbs with a forum for chatting on the plot.

Crocks & Pots
Our sister company supplying commercial cookware to the home chef. This really is last a lifetime stuff - fantastic quality.

Find That Fuchsia
Its title says it all; a fabulous resource website for the Fuchsia enthusiast.

Gardening Data
Practical gardening articles and links to other sources and suppliers.

GoldHosts
Website design and hosting from a firm small enough to care but large enough to cope - sometimes only just in time, but always just in time!!

Grow It! Magazine
Sadly not the best website in the world at the moment - but one of the better magazines on the UK market for those interested in vegetable and fruit gardening.

Grow Your Own Magazine
Another good magazine for those interested in vegetable and fruit gardening - this website also has a very active online forum.

Home Farmer Magazine
Aimed at the growing number of people who are looking for a better quality of life: healthier food produced without chemicals whose journey from plot to plate is measured in feet, not miles. Not just about fruit and vegetables, it is dedicated to helping you realise your lifestyle dreams with articles on diverse subjects such as making your own sausages, baking, urban poultry keeping, beekeeping, caring for animals on a small acreage, dealing with neighbours and much, much more. Home Farmer is more kitchen table than coffee table and each issue targets what you need to know to get the job done with simple step-by-step instructions, features and honest accounts of people trying to live their dreams either in the country or town.

LBS Horticulture
LBS (The Lancashire Bale and Stacksheet Company) was founded in 1969 by Peter and Margaret Wolfenden primarily to supply local farmers with the relatively new product polythene to help keep bales of hay and straw dry in wet weather; since that time their range has increased drastically to include horticultural sundries, polytunnels, irrigation and more. Though primarily aimed at the professional grower (we use them) they now have a website for the amateur grower - LBS Garden Warehouse

Pesticides Action Network
If you are in any doubt why you should be growing your own produce and avoiding pesticides you should look at this website! This is not scare mongering or knee jerk stuff, just a website (and organisation) giving well researched and well balanced information.

Plants For A Future
A truly amazing resource site with a huge database of 7300 'edible medicinal and useful plants'. Just twenty plants provide the majority of food eaten, yet there are thousands of other useful plants which have not reached mainstream attention. You can find details of many of them here.

The Royal Horticultural Society
The UK’s leading gardening charity; a fantastic website packed full of information (and of course we're listed in their 'plantfinder'.

The Alternative Kitchen Garden
A fantastic weekly podcast on gardening by Emma Cooper - lovely programs well worth a listen!

The Country Channel
People after our own heart - one has to move with the times and probably the next thing is internet TV; the Country Channel is in its infancy but really should be applauded for its ethos. There's very little quality programming on 'normal' TV so give this lot a go!

Vegetable-Gardens
A new, fresh looking, friendly site aimed at helping people to grow wonderful fresh, tasty vegetables and fruit.
