Your allotment society may well run a scheme to get seeds at a discount from Kings (they are part of the group including suttons and some others that I cant remember).  I'd check there first, as the orders have to be in about now..... so you dont want to miss the boat.

Where are you?  Useful to put on your profile ...

Hi cagiva1983,

Welcome! I'm sure different people on here will have many different ideas of the best seed company!  :D Are you into motorbikes at all with a username like that?  :)

King's seeds don't charge for postage so if you only want a few it's a good deal. Wilko's also have a reasonable and cheap choice too and I think it is either Suttons or Unwins who do small packets that coat less than the usual ones. Next year, if you save seed, you will get them for free or do swopsies with another gardener!
I work very hard so don't expect me to think as well.
