i have not used them but like you say their prices seem good and their p&p is reasonable. there is bound to be some one on here that has used them.

to be honest i didn't need much seed this year so what i have needed i bought from wilkinsons because they are just up the road and they are cheap

These guys are pretty good - everyhing I grew last year did very well.

They're real seeds too so you can use them the next year.

Good value and prompt dispatch.

Some of Simplyseeds packets have smaller quantities of seed in I've noticed although I have never bought from them.

D T Brown sell good seeds at reasonable prices with no p&p charges for seed only orders.
They are on-line as well.

Have a look at Moles Seeds, but only if you need quite a few, can seed share, or can store well.

Pro rata you won't beat them on price and seeds are post free.
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

Our site has since the war (so the old boys tell me) used DT's, to be honest we are looking at other peeps now, we have had a few issues with them over the last few years with seeds not being whats on the packet, some packets only containing around 6 seeds instead of 2000, and germination problems, to be fair with DT's they do sort the issues out if they can and they are good with the site discounts but last year was a bad one with pretty much everyone experiencing problems, we shall see about this years seed.

I bought some from "Real Seeds" this year. I dont know what the seeds are like but I like their ethos. I wanted to try Nigels outdoor chillis as I dont have a green house just a large cold frame to get them started. I will be impressed if they do anything outdoors as claimed!

If I'm allowed.  .  . 

I should like to recommend "The Organic Gardening Catalogue"  from/by Chase Organics.  I've been getting my regular and weird seeds from them for some years now, never had a 'duff batch'.   They also supply the hardware for growing food/flowers as well.   Cheers,    Tony

Our allotment association uses Kings Seeds which are reasonably priced and so far none of our allotment holders have come back complaining about the seeds.

As this town will raise a petition against someone sticking a spade in the ground, I would say that Kings Seeds must be doing something right.

This year I bought most of my seeds from Premier Seeds Direct and Kitchen Garden Seeds on ebay. They have a very good range of seeds, and very good value for money.
