Allotments 4 All

Well I've ordered all my seeds for next year today but it wasn't as easy as I'd hoped.  I don't know if it's me but I found the Suffolk Herbs/Kings Seeds site almost impossible to use.  I can only think that they haven't updated their website to match the 2007 catalogue.  Very frustrating.   >:(  The Organic Gardening catalogue and T&M on the other hand were a joy to use as ever.   ;D

I have just finished typing up all the seeds i have left and the ones i have been kindly sent from seed swaps and now have an idea what i need to order.

I have all the seed cataloges here waiting for me and i plan to go though them tomorrow when my hubbie is driving up to birmingham - i get board in the passanger seat!

so i am very envious that you have already ordered yours!

How are you keeping a record of your seeds? And how do you decide where to buy seeds is it only on price??? In the past i have gone by pretty pictures  ;D

Yesterday I received a catalogue  from DT Brown they look very good at reasonable prices any one used them? what did you find with regards to their service etc

it would be handy if there was a sticky on here with links to seed companies and then people could post how they rate the service and also post if there are special offers etc ( as i always seem to be a day to late for offers)

just a thought

I have used DT Browns for several years and been pleased but I know some of our other plotholders have not been happy with the quality or service...

Hi

I am going to use browns for the first time.

I have also obtained seeds from kings in the past and they were fine.

But what i did find was the amazing range even for simple things on offer from the different suppliers for example

- DT Brown - Parnips - Avon Resister - 85pence for 450 seeds
- Kings - Parnips - Avon Resister - 90pence for 600 seeds
- Organic Catalogue - Avon Resister - £1.15 for 475 seeds

So in this case i will be ordering this item from Kings  ;D

I have spread all my veggie shopping items over thompson and morgan ( got free £5 voucher ), DT Brown ( got free £2 voucher ), Organic Catalogue and Kings. So i think i get the lot excluding potatoes and fruit plants for about £18.

Hi Cambourne.  I like to buy organic seed where I can and I agree that quantity of seed and price varies considerably.  If I needed lots of seeds I'd probably use Simpsons ( http://www.simpsonsseeds.co.uk/ ) because they come highly recommended for both price and service on this forum in another thread.  But as I've only ordered about 12 packets, I go on past experience mainly, unless a pretty picture catches my eye.   ;)
