Ordered some chilli seeds from Fatalii site...I have shopped from them before and been happy with their seeds, this time even more so....
...ordered 5 varieties...and received 3 more for FREE! :icon_cheers: Hmm...I just might sow few to get some overwintering plants on windowsill..and hopefully early crops next year :icon_cheers: :angel11:
I bought some from them a earlier in the year, pleased with germination. Go on make us all drool what did you get?

You're definitely a 'hot' lover :icon_cheers:
Off to look them up.
Mark Diacono's (River Cottage) venture at Otter Farm is good for some unusual stuff, mostly plants rather than seeds... http://shop.otterfarm.co.uk/ (http://shop.otterfarm.co.uk/) .. I'm a big fan of his philosophy even though he did once call me "a bit of a potato Nazi"...
Could there be yet more ?

List updated with additions :toothy10:
I was looking this site if it is added to our list ..but no. Could it be added for future reference..it took me some time to find it as I couldn't remember the name.. :drunken_smilie:..it is all down hill now, not getting any younger.. :BangHead:
http://www.poyntzfieldherbs.co.uk/
List updated.
I've bought some things from them before, very pleased with the plants. But I can never remember the name either so thanks :sunny:
Wow, great to have them all in one place thank you. Another one I've used is www.jungleseeds.co.uk
http://www.jandlseeds.com/
I haven't used them yet they are on next years shopping list
Don't forget West Coast Seeds, their varieties are best for my area which is almost the same as yours, try them online they have a great planting guide too.

Not a seed site (intended for organic eating) - but nevertheless a source for Carlin Peas, British grown Quinoa and a few other goodies.
A bit like Rancho Gordo in the USA who sell beans for eating, which nevertheless are very useful as garden seeds - taste before you grow :sunny:

Hi Ya, Seedy drool sites, I love looking only being a self confessed seedaholic I can't help buying, That's why I have loads of seeds that took my fancy. Happy gardening

Some very interesting pepper and tomato seeds, both heirloom and newly bred in Belgium. :wave:

Thanks for that - it's a wonderful resource which I'll drool over copiously in the winter, especially now some US sites I've used in the past to source unusual tomatoes etc. no longer send to the UK. Keep 'em coming, if you find any more.
Here are a few more. https://realfarmacy.com/131-heirloom-seed-companies-by-region/?fbclid=IwAR32UGT_bY4r-SIQK3kciWhMlXXN7YMvbTKQAYOWFSCh5pjJyDRvsOq1waI
:wave:
Stop it... I still have work to do clearing up the old greenhouse site.. if I start looking now, it not being quite light yet I'll still be here at Mid-Day !!
Love the way the Belgian website describes their chilies as Mild, Hot and Insane.
Can't get decent chilies or seeds here so thanks for the link.
Just saw this, the Vertiloom site is amazing, lots of varieties new to me, just placed an order to try a few as a late sowing this year and some save for next.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Uh oh Deb! I thought I would just pop over to the Vertiloom site for a quick peek. There goes my afternoon!!!! :toothy10:
Deb, please keep us updated regarding your order. I placed an order 20th March, they said it was shipped but it hasn't yet arrived. I wonder if Belgian post is severely delayed.
I otherwise have confidence in the company - placed an order back in 2019 and it got here fast, and the seeds were good.
Ok will post again when I hopefully receive my order!
I'm currently on standby for compost from B&Q too, my Click & Collect order should have been ready for collection on Monday.....😳
There are severe holdups for post arriving from overseas at the moment. Birthday card that should have arrived in very good time did not make it either. It is not the seed company but the post. :wave:
Received an email on Friday informing me my seeds have been posted....let's see how long they take to get here eh?
My seeds finally arrived! Hoping yours get to you sooner, Deb :wave:
Fingers crossed!
Seeds arrived from Belgium yesterday! I've just been sowing some, a bit late but just as a trial to see how they do!
Wow, a lot faster! Good luck with them.
Well there goes another 30 quid!
I also ended up buying a half-dozen from these guys https://cultivetarue.fr/boutique/
They stock over 1100 tomato varieties :drunken_smilie:
No, I don't have a problem.
Ooh that site looks good too....I have zero self control when it comes to seed sites!
I think I have found a new one. Seekay Horticulture on Ebay.
When I bought several packets the postage disappeared after a few.
No fancy packing. They are in small reclosable plastic envelopes. Arrived quickly. Nothing fancy but good prices on the basics. Good numbers of seeds supplied for the price. Mr Fothergill Mini pop sweet corn £3.10 for 50, SeeKay £1.39 for 75. Now to see how well their seeds grow. Just put some sweet peas to chit.
I can vouch for Seekay. I've used their seeds quite a lot over the last three years or so, and found them and their seed very reliable. The other good seed company on eBay with an even wider selection I think is Premier Direct. Also reliable seed, prompt delivery and excellent prices.
I finally took the plunge and decided on some squashes from Bobbys only to find they no longer ship to uk.
Yes, I think that's true of most European seed companies since Brexit.
