What's the best on-line site to purchase good quality seeds at relatively competitive prices to garden centres and the big garden stores?

I use Thompson & Morgan or Dobies for seeds.0

Boy am I impressed by eseed's pansy and viola choice. I don't think I've ever seen so many varieties all in one place.0

Depends on what you want; I use Real Seeds
http://www.realseeds.co.uk/
And they are all non-hybrid which means you can save your own seeds; and the delivery is the fastest I have ever had [every time].
But then again, I only grow veg. And I want to help preserve older varieties if I can.0 -
I have used realseeds also and would recommend them.
Also seen romans mentioned on here once and will be trying them in the future. There prices seem quite cheap.

Thankyou for that, I've never used them before and they look great, I especially like the D'Eysines Carrot and the Cherokee bean. I shall be trying both!Depends on what you want; I use Real Seeds

I keep being tempted by some plants on the Thomson and Morgan website, but I know that people say they aren't always the best quality. The price is so reasonable, especially when I think of what they would cost from the local nursery0

There was a report out last year about the germination rate of seeds from different companies. Link:
