Default Seeds @ 50pence packet

Hi All

can't take the praise for this but thought I'd share it, found it on another lottie site

'alanromans.com'

All the basic veg & flower seeds @ 50p pkt, and the potato seeds don't look badly priced the feedback on the other site was positive.

It seems a good starting point for all us newbies who are starting from scratch........

Not the variety of some of the other suppliers but for all the basic stuff looks like it's great value.

As Alison says, not a huge range, but well worth a look for the basics. LJ - you should have a look on here for your bedding plant seeds.
It took a while to find info on P&P, but they actually only charge 80p, so not too bad at all. Have to admit, I was expecting it to be £3 or something which would hike the cost considerably, but not at all, so pleasantly surprising.

Cor, thanks for that Hans Mum. I've just ordered my herb seeds and saved quite a bit.

Cheers Hans Mum, just had a look at the website, what great value. Wish I'd found it earlier cause I've got all my seed, think I might have a go with the Shetland Black potato, havn't had them since I was a weeun'

Our order arrived nice and quickly, no problems with delivery (Bell the dog didnt even eat it too!), basic packets without any piccies or instructions, but good use before dates and quantities, so I'd deffo recommend! The lack of instructions shouldnt be too much of a problem, the Dr H veg expert book we have gives good info, or we just come on here and ask away, I'm sure some of the more experienced grapes will help out!

Anyone else want to share any experiences?
