Asian herb and vegetable seed suppliers

[Ringo Grumio Nibbler]

Do any of you know of a decent supplier for Asian herb and vegetable seeds? I am thinking of the following amongst others:

Thai Basil
Lemon Grass
Peppercorns
Thai Shallots

Thompson & Morgan sell lemon grass seeds.

Many thanks. I have ordered some sweet chillis, tomatoes, lemon grass and Thai Basil.

I think you will find that peppercorns will be a bit too much of a challenge in the UK. I gather they form on a tropical vine but may be proved wrong by another grape!

Out of interest, which varieties of sweet peppers and tomatoes did you order? Pardon my inquisitiveness; I have cat genes so am curious about everything I don't know! LOL

Bit late, but have you tried lemongrass from the supermarkets with the fresh fruit and veg? If you can get some with a bit of root on the bottom, it will grow in some fresh compost!

I tried Lemon grass a couple of times. It likes it very warm and very wet (bit like my tea). I didn't do very well with it. Far too much hassle for the lack of return. An Aussie friend who is visiting (and of course a keen gardener) reckons our climate is all wrong. I grow quite a few Asian greens though. Very easy and good old Pak choi is wonderful.
