Topic: Seeds etc....

[beanie3]

Where do you all buy your seeds/plants from......whose cheap?  whose reasonable?  whose reliable?  Just trying to get an idea......i have only really used Marshalls but i think there maybe better options out there.

[manicscousers]

lidl, aldi, netto for basics  :)

[Digeroo]

Franchi for big packets particularly good for carrots and courgettes.
Tozer direct for the newest breeding at very reasonable prices.

I really like Lidl seeds the price is great and I have never had any problems with their seeds.

If you have a Wyevale gardlen centre near you, you might catch the end of their seed sale with all packets at 50p, but you may be too late as they will be needing the space for their Christmas stock. ::)

i didnt think i had a wyevale close to me - but then i googled it - and we have - whoot

I buy lots of seeds off eBay.   Look around on there and they come cheap, as little as 99p, with many good sellers.  :o

Always have done and always will do for the seeds I dont save from my own plants.  No need to pay high prices from seed companys like Marshals.

The one I us the most is......   Premier_Seeds_Direct (53711)  H/ Recommended.

No running around looking.  You have thousands to choose from and delivered straight to your door.   :-*  :-*  :-*  :-*

I bought a few from ebay this year - the sellers buy in bulk and you get the seeds in a tiny ziplock bag but they were all what they said they were (Piccolo tomatoes etc).  Good prices and P&P at 60p however many packs you buy. I will be buying a few more next year (spagetti squash caught my fancy).

But most seeds from Wyevale's 50p sale and the like.  Last November a guy on the local market had masses of Suttons Seeds at 4 for £1 including the exotic stuff that you normally have to get from their website (Senshyu onion seed etc) and a bought 40 packs from him.

Just keep my eyes open really.

Yeah wot Denzle said  ::) except the hunt is part of the experience!

** loves looking at the seed rack **

[beanie3]

never really thought about ebay or carboots - i like the fun of finding a bargain.

I would also recommend Premier Seeds Direct on Ebay.

[lillian]

I buy from Alanromans.com and Moreveg.com

[caroline7758]

Thanks for the link- they look like great value- have bookmarked until I know what I need!

[antipodes]

Alan romans are great especially for beans and peas - very cheap! and good varieties, even though they are very basic. I bought from DT browns last year and they also are pretty good.
