This is a work in progress...
Please feel free to add any of your favourites that I might have missed, and any comments or reviews of the sites listed.
Cheers,
Bupster.
Potato mad. Also (slightly limited) range of seeds at just 50p a packet.
Does what it says on the tin.
No pictures but very entertaining descriptions of a good range of flowers, fruit and vegetables, including an enormous selection of wildflowers.
"Excellent seed suppliers that work out fairly cheap." - Sandersj89.
"Very very good seed supplier, especially good for spuds, but I am biased as my family have used this outfit for over 50 years." - Sandersj89.
For the exhibitionists amongst us.
Heritage seed library. Different range every year; members can choose twelve, of which they receive their top six plus a lucky dip.
If you have an allotment, you probably get most of your seeds here. Kings have a deal with several allotment societies - so check before you order online.
Organic herbs and vegetables and, peculiarly, horse paddock grass mixtures. Should you like your manure fresh.
Not a particularly pretty site but a good range, especially of chilli peppers, and reasonably priced.
The first stop if you're gardening organically with a huge range, but can be pricy. Commercial arm of the HDRA (now Garden Organic).
Mail order only - the most attractive seed catalogue you'll ever own. A pleasure to browse.
'Real' seeds from a firm that started on a Cambridge allotment. No hybrids. Many heirloom varieties. Reasonable prices, generous quantities, and customers are encouraged to save their own seeds.
No, I hadn't heard of them either. Heirloom seeds, with a quite extraordinary range of tomatoes.
Very pretty website but outrageously expensive.
Rare and unusual seeds. Organic vegetables and herbs, though not all that rare or unusual.
Wonderful range but be careful what you order as some packets contain up to 10,000 seeds!
Major seed supplier.
Another major supplier, T&M often have special offers - the current season's offer is your most expensive packet of seeds free. Dangerous, if you ask me.
