how are you getting on with ordering your seed I've already got most of my seed for next year both veg seed and seed potatoes also ordered our bedding plants perhaps a bit premature but then I've got um

A bit early, isn't it? I usually order stuff from France in about February.

I've got mine as well, but I've not been adventurous - I've stuck with my tried and tested varieties!!
-
I don't really consider this to be early for me as I like to know I've got the varieties I want and peace of mind that's another thing less to worry about and apart from my account orders it's all pay as you go so it's less to pay out next year when we need to buy compost and other things for the garden, I've also ordered our bedding plants for next year you might call me optimistic maybe :D

I've just ordered a few packs of fresh seeds for next year.. my usual varieties of veg & toms, plus some Butternut Squash that I've not grown before.. Seed potaties I'll leave until Wilkos get them in stock, or I'll order from JBA.

I'll wait a bit, although I already have my new tomato and chilli seeds from vertiloom.
I have most seeds covered already, just need to go through them all and discard those I don't want any more and then fill the gaps.

just r eceived order from premier 2 days after ordering seem to be same prices as last year.

Same experience here :)
I did a small order from Premier Seeds to fill a few gaps in my seed collection for thing I definitely want to grow, got them very fast and nothing seemed to be expensive compared to last year. I’ve got all my seed potatoes ordered as well.

Perhaps, but with lots of uncertainty over supply chains, inflation and the rest, I think people just want to make sure they have the basics.

Premier great I ordered some from more veg cheAp for a packet 60p for onions but there was only 60 seeds in packet which make them expensive probably about 1.5 pence per seed also it said packed I. 2023 on them don’t think so found this a bit dishonest but could be a mistake

That's possibly last year's stock you've been sent there Snowboar.

At least they were packed for the coming year.
Let's face it we don't know how old the seeds are in any of the packets, we buy, they only ever tell us when they were packed ::)
The only way to be sure you have really fresh seed is to save them yourself ;)

Packed 2023 must have a time machine I thought it were strange they were delivered in a deloren
