I like plants of distinction, they are more expensive than most but have a very high germination rate, one of the broadsheets did a test a couple of years ago and they were one of the best companies. they have a fabulous selection of tomatoes, in fact i find it a good read even if you don't buy anything!
Happy growing, Helen

If you have too many seeds in 1 packet then save them for next year as long as they are stored in the dry and dark they are usually ok to use.

Try buying spuds from a supermarket and growing those. I know some varieties have been sprayed with a chitting retardant but not all have. Yes I know there are virus implications from doing this but if the spud looks healthy, no skin marks, then it probably comes from healthy stock, plus you can get some really nice varieties this way.
I do reccomend Charlotte salad spuds.

My mother seems to like Thompson & Morgan and Baker Holland for seeds/young plants. My own preference so far is Unwins, but that's mostly because I absolutely detest the way T&M mix up the order of things in their catalogue, making quick searching very slow whereas Unwins have a nice logical catalogue. That's more important than the actual seeds... right?
