Options
Hello,

I have already planted spring onion, parsnips, garlic, sweet pepper and courgette seeds. Can you recommend the best place to get seeds either online or instore.

Thanks

    A lot of people on here have recommended the following website:

    http://www.moreveg.co.uk/

    I've not personally ordered from them but I will certainly give them a try when I need more seeds as there is a lot of choice and the prices are very reasonable.

    Have to agree with the poundland query. Got a multipack out of there containing cucumber, several types of lettuce, tomato, cress, spring onion. Seedlings are coming along well on the window ledge.

    I just tend to buy them when I'm out and about and see some offers on them :)

    I would second this!

    Another vote here for Alan Romans, I also tend to use Premier Seeds Direct who have an ebay store.

    I try to avoid looking in the shops I tend to buy to many or something I already have.
  • Thank you for the comments. I have ordered some seeds from moreveg yesterday. I am thinking of getting some potatoes to plant in the allotment on alanromans site they have some. How many should I be ordering, and what are the best type to plant at this time of year?

    Give them a call or drop them an email, they are very helpful. It really depends how much space you have as to how many you grow. The best type to plant will vary, what do you enjoy eating the most? The trick is to get some early crops, mid and lates, so you have a constant supply.

    You've already sown courgette seed! Where are you planning to grow them?
