Hi :D    Anybody know of a specialist Tomato Seed supplier. Only I would like to grow something (tomatoes) a bit different next season.

Seems a bit expensive, first link looks OK.

Plants Of Distinction do about 100 different varieties. Should be enough to choose from. I try some new ones every year :lol:

Cost about £1.70 for 20/30 seeds and £1.70 p&p. Seems reasonable to me.

They also do a large selection of peppers sm aller selectionof all the other veg of course as well.

I use podseeds.co.uk (Plants of Distinction) as mentioned by Stigs Mum.
They have a good selection, all my stuff has been good. So no complaints.
