Hi Bramble. If you put them in the fridge they will stay viable for some time. (well mine do).

As to compiling a list, I think it would be safer to give recommendations rather than to post which particular company you feel is rubbish (for legal reason!). Sometimes the views can be subjective & you may say they were rubbish when it was down to things out of there control (the post or even the weather) I think the example that Andrews just given is (hopefully) the exception rather than the norm.

I'm not sure that GYO would be to keen if we post thing like "don't buy from fred bloogs cos he's crap" either, but if you were to post that you had excellent service from Nick the grief's Gladioli nursery & would thouroughly reccomend them to any one it wouldn't be as controversial.

PS - I haven't got a gladioli nursery before anyone claims I'm out for free advertising

Bramble there is a seed company where you can buy as many seeds or as few seeds as you like. www.seeds-by-size.co.uk It's very good. You buy the seeds by weight and there are guides as to how many seeds you would get. It is especially good for vegetables that you only want to grow a few of like courgettes or if you want to try something new but you only want a few to begin with and they have an enormous selection.

Recommendations are good but maybe we should set up a seed club for those amongst us who only grow a handfull of plants each year.
