Realseeds, Premier Seeds Direct, Pennard Plants, Adaptive Seeds (US), Marshalls (Onion Sets), Seeds of Italy, Heritage Harvest Seed (US, before they stopped shipping internationally). Probably more but those are the ones I can think of :)

Moles for me. Very hard to beat the value for seeds in quantity.

Me too.

My favourites, in order, are Real Seeds, Simpson's Seeds, Tuckers, King's, Seeds of Italy all internet shopping.   Occasional purchases from Wilkinson's and Aldi.

Premier Seeds - ebay

Been very reliable for delivery and quality.  Good communications too when I have had questions.

Simplyseed.co.uk.  I used them last year and had excellent germination rates. The seed potatoes were still perfectly dormant when they arrived in the post. The crop I had was superb. They are cheap too with freepost if you spend a certain amount on seed (£10 I think)

This was a really useful thread.  I went to have a look at Moles Seeds as I had not heard of them before.  Really impressed seems good value and a nice easy to use website.  I found spaghetti squash and all my usual suppliers were not stocking it.  So I made an order.  Spaghetti squash back on the menu for Autumn.  Thanks

Real Seeds, as then I can save seeds from lots of veg myself as they will come true

50p end of season sale at Wyvale every year (and yes, I now go with a list  :lol:) and this includes expensive Telegraph cucumber seed etc  :D :D

Premier Seeds for anything I cannot get from these two

Plus (deep breath here) T&M - bought in local GC - for Panache parsnip seed as this is the one I like the best of all the ones I have grown (which admittedly is not more than about five or six)

Kings through the allotment association (major fund raiser) for most of them, with top ups from Aldi and Wilks.  Seed potatoes and occasional seeds of italy from local nursery and onion/shallot sets from Wilks.

Moles are great for bulk seeds.  I've bought green manure seeds from them.  But I only have a half plot ....

Seeds of Italy, for the most part for the last 2 years. Excellent crops and a real diversity of plant types- also a very friendly email service offering tips for each month, and where to catch Paolo playing his accordion! :D

You forgot

https://www.molesseeds.co.uk/index.php

But I'm sure you could have Googled to find them and the others!
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?
