One to go for if you only want small quantities of seeds, which are p&p free on orders over £6, and an excellent service is MoreVeg

I tend to buy from all over but http://www.nickys-nursery.co.uk/ has a huge variety..

Which magazine tested seeds companies recently and Doobies came out top but Nickys did very well.  The thing that let them down was lack of growing info on the packs but not a problem to some..

I have just found 'Sandra' brussel sprouts from the Real Seed Company.  I must have some of those cause that is my name (its not really Borlotti).  ;)  Better not go too mad as no money until next week.  So many different recommendations, I want them all. Want to get some Dahlia tubers for next year, but they seem quite expensive.  Might do a bit of begging to my allotment friend.

I am a bit confused because no seed company sells all the diferent type of seeds I want.   So that could bump the postage up.

Real seeds and Alan Romans are the two I use, but there have been some bad experiences on here with some seed companies, I can't think which ones they are but we don't want anyone getting let down by these companies, so people lets warn others about them.   ???     ;D ;D ;D

I often buy from Kings as they come really cheap through our allotment association but I like to buy from as many as possible - love real seeds and another good one is Moles, they sell huge packets, so this can work out cheap if sharing with friends. My only grumble with them is that they sell a number of 'treated' seeds and this isn't always written in the catalogue
