My first year this year and I have been heavily relying on / using Marshalls mainly for seeds and seed potatoes onion setts and garlic  and some plants.  I have been amazed by my results this year considering the weather.  Who else uses Marshalls are they the best, should I try elsewhere?

I haven't used Marshalls, but this is often discussed under the title of seed suppliers.

As alternatives I use:

Plants of Distinction
http://www.plantsofdistinction.co.uk/

They have or had some different items, I liked the Currant Tomatoes.

And
Moreveg
http://www.moreveg.co.uk/

They do seeds in smaller amounts, possibly better for a garden and not for an allotment therefore.

Thanks, i just wondered if I was getting value for money having not shopped around.

Two companies who dont seem to be mentioned on either list are

Suttons http://www.suttons.co.uk/

and

Tuckers http://www.tuckers-seeds.com/

I use both, and have never had an issue with either, Tuckers also having a shop close to me has the bonus of nipping in!
They do all their seeds in resealable plastic bags, which I like more than the foil ones (OK foil keeps them fresher, but plastic bags are re-usable!

I also have been using Tuckers for the last 2 seasons and havn't had a failure, also their prices are very good
