Ditto.  They are now on Amazon too.  :)

The association gets its wholesale loose seed from Kings, I think.

We order Mr Fothergills packeted seeds for the members via our wholesalers (Gro-well) and sell them at 35% discount off RRP.

We also have 10% discount arrangements with a couple of local independent gardening shops.
I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days all attack me at once...

If I was buying them now I would be hurrying down to my local garden centre so that I could get them in as soon as possible.

I've used Kings Seeds, Premier Seeds and Moles seeds this year. All 3 are excellent and I highly recommend  :)

Real Seeds are good for heritage and unusual stuff. Been very good last few years...
My local gardening/diy/weird things place tends to sell off their seed stock in September - any packet for 20p - most of my purchases are done there (and then) - my general seeds come from there...

Cheers,
Balders

I only used to use dt browns, but to get the widest possible choice I've used a few this year. Browns, medwyns of Anglesea, real seeds, Simpsons seeds. All have been very good to be honest.  Medwyns and Simpsons both had excellent germination rates this year..

Moles for me. Very hard to beat the value for seeds in quantity.
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?
