I haven't bought anything from this company , but they only sell non hybrid older varieties of veg seeds. Similar sort of thing to realseeds .
 Many of the old vegetable varieties that I grew only 30-40 years ago , are no longer available to buy . They have gone from the shops over the last few years . We really need to get a base of older veg going before it is too late , it very nearly is already .


cheers

This is the Henry Double day seed library link.
I'm definitely going to join up.

Just got my order from the Real Seed Company.  Now getting all excited.  Want to do an excel spreadsheet as to when to plant all the different things.  How sad, to get excited over a packet of seeds.  Must be getting old.  I remember when other things got me excited  ??? :o  ::)

Suttons Seeds      
Alan Romans
Marshalls Seeds


try googling these.also if there is a few people  nearbyeask about any  discount clubs that they run for allotments,  ;)
alan romans is very good does plain seed packs and in sensible amounts so prices are cheaper

What a great idea.
Would you consider sharing your spreadsheet when you make it? I would love to try out the idea.  :farmer: :peas: :chili: :chili: :carrot: :spud: :rasp: :pepper: :brocolli: :bee: :gloomy: :pear: :yum:

I want to try Kokopelli this year, hoping some kind soul will give me the book for my birthday. Someone showed it to me years ago it it is one of those things you will want to own one day! Well, I do...As I got more and more disappointed with the HDRA Seed Library I'm still looking for more rare varieties to grow.

I'd love to support a seed, plant or propagation swap, maybe this could be a regular on the forum in this Growing section?  :&>

Just opened the Thomson & Morgan catalogue I got in the mail a few days ago and found it contains a £5 no strings attached voucher.

I bought quite a few interesting seeds from T & M. Once you get going with the £ 5 off, it's hard to stop, beware!  :&>

Last year I bought off alan romans they are the cheapest I could find and were succesful as well now the seeds don't come in fancy packets mind just the foil inner ones that come inside the standard pack of seed and the variety isn't massive but at the prices they are very good value also seedaholics are worth a look

The catalogue I have has a picture of a basket of sweet peas and an ad for the £5 voucher on the front cover and the voucher inside with an order code. It says even if my order is under £5 I just pay pp.

Lidl seeds are the cheapest I know of, about 29p for a small packet and 48 for a large packet.

Whilst there may not be a fancy selection of seeds there is certainly all of the most eaten veg, oh and some flowers lol

Later in the season there is also fruite trees and bushes at cheap prices. Last year I bought loads for my 2 allotments.
