Allotments 4 All

Try SeedParade - I have used them for years and really good value and service.

remember you can get cashback/tesco clubcard points now with some companies

I'm not sure if two of my favourite sites have been mentioned,  both sites are selling Tom Wagner's varieties
http://www.tomwagnerseeds.com/
http://newworldcrops.com/zen/index.php? New World Crops, isn't currently selling seeds over the summer period, I think too busy with growing things.

Has anyone heard of sycamoretrading.co.uk in Co. Derry? All their seeds seem to cost £l.99 with free P & P.

...Nah!..never too many seed shopping sites.. ;) ;D...never enough money.. ::) :-X

And space!!!

My one stop shop is www.seedparade.co.uk

I've not bought anything from Wallis Seeds, but they were mentioned in a parsnip thread http://www.allotments4all.co.uk/smf/index.php/topic,76558.0.html Might be some interesting ones that are not readily available?

Here's a few more UK ones not mentioned yet. I've bought seeds from Tamar, Original Touch, Garden Organic and Tuckers and found them good. I've not used Sea Springs but bookmarked the page, something must have caught my eye!

Anyone noticed how pretty the Chiltern Seeds website is these days? Got an email from them the other day, very stylish, looks more like Sarah Raven's website (although I use that site to get ideas and info and buy elsewhere as they are blooming expensive!) I gather the founders two daughters have taken over running the firm now so perhaps that explains the new look...very impressed with the photography on there.

Territorial, West Coast Seeds and Salt Spring also ship to the UK.

XX Jeannine

Thanks Jeannine.  I have ordered seeds from Territorial, was a few years ago, but seeds arrived safe and well, as did the seeds from the public catalogue of Seed Savers Exchange.  They even put in a paper catalogue (it was an online order), which really bumped up their shipping costs to way above of what I paid for shipping. 

However, recently postal prices have gone up steeply and shipping contributions are usually more than 6 dollars even for a small order (to get it by customs without attracting attention).  Getting seeds from the USA is still worthwhile these days, especially if we actually seedsave and enjoy unique varieties for more than one gardening year (and seedshare of course  ).  There are a great number of pretty unique varieties available in the USA (and Canada).  Sadly many are old European varieties, which have disappeared here but were kept alive and growing by immigrants.  This is why in most cases US/Canadian varieties also do well here.

Galina, if you find anything over this side that they won't post to the UK, have them post it to me and I will send it on. I also have a US address which I use for the  companies who won't ship over the border directly to me, very useful for some stuff XX Jeannine

That is a kind and generous offer, thankyou Jeannine 

Sparrow has just put this link in another thread

Sorry, I didn't see your post - I got them from Uncle Bobby's seeds: http://www.bobby-seeds.com/en/Cucurbits-and-more/Squash-Seeds/Maxima-Seeds-all/Jarrahdale::90.html

Look at all those moschata

Another good one Digeroo, although it was already on the list.
Thanks Jeannine, I've still some updating to do.
I'm not sure I need to comply with that document ancellsfarmer, as I don't sell seeds.

Goodlife's main thread for chatting about seed sites is here http://www.allotments4all.co.uk/smf/index.php/topic,62941.0.html

Is that all!?...I thought we could have come up more than that...
Thank you for 'tidying up' and putting all in list form, they are much easier to find. Though I hope folk would still keep posting their experiences  with different companies...good and bad...it is good help when deciding where to get the goodies from/or not.
This year I'm going to wait the circle's parcel before making any seed orders..

I've just received my order from Tamar Organics, quick delivery and well packed although a couple of items are outstanding while they wait for fresh harvest.

I always use Dobies www.dobies.co.uk had no problems with them and they seem to be competitive.
