im trying to plan what i need to plant over the next few months such as potaoes for Christmas and rasberries to plant in october but does anyone have any recomendations of somewhere to buy them from that dont cost the earth

[Robinjw13]

For veg and herbs I use C N Seeds (www.cnseeds.co.uk) - cheap & seed always seems fresh.

Don't know about potatoes for Christmas but if you have a Potato Fair near you in Jan/Feb/March, I would recommend for potatoes - ours also had onions, shallots, and quite a few varieties of peas and beans for sale by the half pint - all very reasonable.

For seeds I would recommend Real Seeds (realseeds.co.uk) - I bought 9 different veg and all had excellent germination rates and are growing well.

Raspberries I bought from my local garden centre (Wyevale I think) and they are great, however I bought 2 varieties - 5 stems of each - one was supposed to be earlier than the other but they both come at the same time. With hindsight I would have got 1 early and 1 autumn variety.

Best of Luck

Spuds are expensive though. Lady Christl for example are over three times the price I paid for mine, even before you add postage on.

They seem reasonable, but have you looked at what you get?
For example....

Autumn King Carrots

More Veg  150 seeds for 50p
T & M       2000 seeds for £1.49
Moles       20,000 plus for £2.25 !!

Musselburgh Leeks

More Veg  50 seed for 50p :shock:
T & M       350 seed for £1.89
Moles       3,200 plus for £2.40!

[johnathome]

That doesn't seem cheap at all, i never compared!

Although what i'd do with 2000 carrot seeds in my small beds :shock:

I don't think thay'd last the 10 years it took to use them, maybe if i ever get a lottie :cry:

whats that company that sells seeds by weight?

I guess moles is one of them, looking after D.D's post

[compostqueen]

I like the wall planner from Moles Seeds. Has everyone got one  :?:  

[siztenboots]

So , should we organise a group buy from Moles Seeds ?

Not sure I need 20,000 carrot seeds..

[Johnny Norfolk]

If you are looking fo quality then it has to be Chilton Seeds.

[gobs]

If you mean Chiltern seeds, they are rather pricey and - well it was rather a few year back - I was not happy with a few seeds, but the most entertaining catalogue I've seen.
