I want to order some seeds and stuff (broad beans, winter onion sets, garlic etc.) can anyone recommend a good site?
My local GC is rubbish, there's nothing that I can put in now and when I asked about winter onions they said there was no such thing and I should come back in Spring  :shock: .

I've had a bit of a "do" with T&M so not too keen on using them.....
First timer, NOT enjoying the backache anymore!

I'm planing on using dobies this year

http://www.dobies.co.uk/


But I've just bought winter onion sets from a good seller on ebay who dispatches very quickly and the prices are resonable :

Moles seeds are good I've had stuff from them before and they will do you overwintering onions in bags up to 25kg if you want that many  :shock:

Fothergills are fine and very quick. They are good at answering email queries too. I found Marshalls too slow and their customer services leave much to be desired

What about your lotty shop? There's bound to be one locally  :D

For general veg seeds etc I have used www.podseeds.co.uk
Winter onions came from http://www.mammothonion.co.uk/index.htm
As did seeds for big leeks and big onions.
