Where do people order their seeds from - I have a marshalls catalogue but they don't seem to have a very big selection and I have no idea who is best to order from so thought I'd see where everyone else gets seeds from?

Thanks :)

Most of the 'normal' veg that I grow for quantity I buy from Ebay...Premier seeds is one shop that is well known here.
Nicky's nursery
Plants of Distinction
Plant World Seeds
Simpson Seeds
Real Seeds
Original Touch
Seeds of Italy
..some of the UK based companies to google...I use all of those regularly and haven't had problems. Most of them do paper cataloques if you don't fancy going through their pages on net.

As Goodlife says - Ebay.. Just search for your seeds you need and stick to the one seller as you only pay 1 postage for all your seeds.

Hadn't given ebay a single thought - thanks

Just found this and the prices seem very reasonable - has anyone used them?

I have tried Moreveg.  They sell in small quantities and the postage isn't too bad.

If you only want small quantities then I highly recommend MoreVeg -

Just recieved my order form premier seeds on ebay - cheap and decent quantities.
Nicky's nursery is another solid favourite of mine

Now this is the problem - I have never used moreveg before - never even been there!  But now you have pointed it out I have to BUY MORE SEEDS!!!
Moved to Portugal - ain't going back!

Another vote here for Premier seeds http://stores.ebay.co.uk/premierseedsdirect - good quantity and quality, nice range and only 99p shipping to Spain.
Location: North East Spain - freezing cold winters, boiling hot summers with a bit of fog in between.

Going to get my potatoes from the allotment shop next weekend really good price at £2 for 3kg

Just need to get some strawberries, onion sets and garlic and then I'm all set to go :) But I have got seeds that I hadn't planned to so back to the drawing board on the allotment plan lol

Nice problem to have! ;D

If you are looking for strawberries have you checked out Bunkers Hill on Ebay.

I highly recommend Kings seeds but only through your allotment group because they are much cheaper than just via the internet individually! And Real seeds have been amazing over the years for me, really unusual and reliable seeds.

I have just ordered from renegade_gardener on ebay and the packets look good, reasonable price but have yet to try them out for reliability, oh this time of year is sooo exciting!
