It's interesting, I've had mixed results from parkers.And this year I placed my biggest seed order with kings and have had the most problems, including terrible germination and wrong seeds in a packet.Last year I bought most of my seeds from T&M though an offer, (10 packets of seed for £1 each).Last year year very few of my DT brown Sweetcorn came up.I'm sure most companies go to the same seed house for stock...... love to find out who though.

I put in 18 seed of Kings Sweetcorn Sweet Nugget and 16 germinated within about a week. I planted them out yesterday when they were about 9" high and good strong plants. I have used Kings seeds for many years now and must admit I have had very few problems.

my self have been lucky and had no problems this season or last i have ordered 20 fuscias for the end of may so i hope they will be of good standard i have had problems with parkers in the past
Quotefunny you should say that two packets of sweetcorn lark from kings only 7 came up i may email themI got 83% germination from Kings Lark (21 from 25 sown), and for the first time I saved some seed from last year. It was a cob that I had missed at harvest time and it dried on the plant I got 69% (17 from 25 sown)Sowed the final 20 seed of Lark today for a later crop.A few years ago I had problems with Kings Sweet Corn and they tried to blame the poor germination on me saying their seeds are tested for viability. Then I told them that I had bought two varieties at the same time and I got excellent germination 90%+ so how could it be my fault? they relented and sent me another packet!Quotemy self have been lucky and had no problems this season or last i have ordered 20 fuscias for the end of may so i hope they will be of good standard i have had problems with parkers in the pastI don't think you will have a problem with your Fuchsia I bought three collections and got a freebie collection as well.This is what I bought:Fuchsia Giant Trailing Collection Pack Size 6Fuchsia Hardy Collection Pack Size 30Fuchsia RHS Award Winning Collection Pack Size 30Lily Oriental Mixed Pack Size 8 - FREE!
