I haven't got around to sowing my Kings seeds yet I generally don't get going to the end of March
Last year I had trouble with their Sweetcorn seed I only got about 10% germination.
I phoned them and they got a bit defensive about their germination percentages.
I pointed out that I had sown about 50% of theirs and 50% of someone else's where I had no problems, so they sent me another packet which was OK as I recall.
On the whole over the years I have been quite happy with their seeds.
I now get a lot of my seeds from DT Browns and they are quite good but a lot less seeds in the packet.
I don't mind about that too much as I buy them at Harrogate show when they are only a pound a packet no matter the size of the packet.
I then get other stuff from Kings that cost less than a pound a packet.
So all in all I get my seeds quite cheaply even if the seed count is a lot less than it used to years back, I find this method better value for money.
I have been looking at stuff in the catalogues that keep popping through my letter box and I am appalled at what they are asking for seeds and plants, makes you think if it is worth growing stuff at these asking prices!
In fact I am finding probably because of these prices that more an more allotment colleagues are getting their plants from me ( perhaps I am selling them too cheaply)
