I order from Kings through our Allotment Association and Kings do a "National Society of Allotment & Leisure Gardener's Ltd" catalogue whos prices can be up to 50% cheaper than in their glossy catalogue.

that's excellent  :D

I really rate Real Seeds- great variety, brilliant germination, good quantity, and all heirloom.

Had to tick the "Other" box too, for 2 seed suppliers:
Pennards Plants- inexpensive, the packaging is simply GORGEOUS (make really sweet gifts) and means I can buy less seed for less money so i can try more weird and wonderful varieties.

Garden by Mail-ordered from them a few weeks ago and really impressed with them.... wont know about germination rates til next year

I like Organic Gardening catalogue but found problems with some of their seeds not being the variety they should be - some of my Bambino aubergines were mystery aubergines, and I'm finding turnips growing in with my Boltardy beetroot!

I'll rate Moles six then, (or should it be "rix").  :tongue2:

They don't charge postage AND give a discount when you pay when ordering.

Have you you actually counted, say for example, a row of carrots as to how many sown to germinated to come up with that figure, or is it a guess?

I'd be interested to see if for anyone not belonging to an allotment association, someone can can up with a cheaper supplier than Moles - across the board - not just a one off.

Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?
