I like Suffolk herbs, The Organic Gardening Catalogue, Mr Fothergills, Kings and Marshalls and Brown's

I like Fothergills as it tells you how many seeds you get. Most seed companies offer no quibble guarantees

I suppose it all depends on what you're looking for. If it's wierd and wonderful I like Chilterns

Like wardy's ideas. And - support the small British companies.

Question - have you ever had a bad seed from anyone??

After sales service - like Dobies,Marshalls etc - speak to the chap who grows the things.

I dealt with 2 large UK companies and they gave me a voucher for the seeds they didn't supply. All very well, but it means I have to go back to them to buy before I can use the voucher. I paid with a UK cheque, why couldn't I have my 'change' the same way?

Still no sign of strawberries from T&M - must go look for invoice or something with order number.

Am very happy with Tuckers and Org. Gardening Cat.

Tuckers & Marshalls, and the Garlic farm for my garlics and shallots.

Then of course all of the kind and generous folk who frequent this site. I have received, either as gifts or swaps masses and masses of wonderful seeds, lots of really unusual things, and live plants!

Another vote for the organic gardening catalogue. I also like Vida Verde (I think they're now called the real seed company) for slightly different stuff.

Clare.
