Where Do You Buy Your Seeds?

[blackkitty]

I buy all over the place and collect all the freebies I can. I find the organic catalogue seeds fantastic in terms of germination and quality but a bit expensive so use them for seeds with a good return e.g. beans, squash and sweetcorn or if I want something a bit different. I use Lidl and Wilkersons for things like radishes and lettuce.

I bought the bulk of my seeds for this year from Kings Seeds and was very impressed, most about a quid a packet and some of which will do the next couple of years also. Also bought a few from various other outlets but hardly use T&M / Suttons anymore as I find that don't sell the varieties I want and are increasingly concentrating on F1s which I tend to avoid.

Most allotment soc use Kings, good price, good seeds.

The 1st year I started veg gardening (2007) I bought £11 worth from Wilkinson, I was shocked that everything grew in abundance!! This year I spent over £65 at DTBrowns and everything is in abundance again!!!(although I went for every type of veg I would consider eating!) I won't know til next year if DTs seeds are still viable, but Wilko's seeds didn't work at all in 2008. However, the reason I used DT Brown is that I found their catalogue really easy to use, and their website too, which is nearly as important as cost to me (I'm a sucker for the shiny nicely organised catalogues!)

Moreveg is really useful. Post free for orders over £5 and they do smaller quantities so you don't end up throwing a load away when they are no longer viable.
