I am not sure if you are allowed to recommend one company over another on this forum, if not mod can you remove.

I am starting to look for next years seeds - this year I mainly used freebies from magazines etc. plus some that I had picked up cheap at various shows with varying degrees of success (may be down to the seeds or the weather).  Next year I would like to choose varieties etc. that I would like to grow rather than what I have and I was wondering if anyone could recommend a particular seed company that they have had success with.

I quite like Seed Parade, they supply seed in smaller packet quantities than the bigger suppliers so you're paying for the seed you can use rather than half-a-packet that will have to wait on next year.

I like D T Brown, and you don't pay for p&p with seeds either. It will also depend on any particular variety of the veg in question and how many of each veg you want to grow. Some veg seeds last for a few years, so can get used up.
I work very hard so don't expect me to think as well.

I like Premier Seeds Direct on ebay.  Most seeds are 99p and you only pay one lot of postage (59p) no matter how many packets you buy.  :)

Realseeds is also very good.  Heirloom and heritage seeds so you can save your own and they give  instructions on how.  :)
