    Welcome to the forum Claire, ask 12 Grapes & you will most likely get 12 different answers but one of my favs is Moreveg.co.uk

        A conservative guess there, BM!

          Hi Claire and welcome if I haven't already said that elsewhere!!
          I'm a fan of Realseeds because of their ethics and they are local, Franchi because you gets lots of seeds for your money, Moreveg when I want to try just a few seeds of something for not much money and Pennard for the quirky ones
          You are welcome to swap into the Virtual Seed Parcel http://www.growfruitandveg.co.uk/gra...nce_68032.html but obviously, you need some seeds to start with All the instructions are in the link.

              I personally love Premier Seeds Direct on Ebay. Not only are they incredibly cheap - usually 99p a packet - but the seeds are good quality.
              You get them in little bags with no instructions etc but if you know what you want & what to do with them, that doesn't matter.
              I get the odd usual seeds I haven't tried before & if they don't work out, I haven't lost much money.
              Good luck

                Hello Claire. I mainly use this website to order seeds
                https://www.organiccatalogue.com/

                They're not the cheapest or the dearest, but I've found very high germination rates with their seeds (plus there's a choice of organic/non organic seed). Also they've a great range of green manure seeds, as well as seed potatoes etc.

                Only downside is the postage fees, which are pretty high until you reach £50 and then it's free. So I fall into the trap of buying a whole load of other gardening bits and pieces just to reach the free postage....

                  I get a lot of seeds through Kings as we get the catalogue through the allotment association. Very good prices. They have a website too. And then there's the 50p sale as described on another thread.

                    I second Premier Seeds Direct on eBay. Great selection, good quantities and all round superb service.

                    I keep meaning to buy from Realseeds, but my collection is pretty big at the moment and Premier Seeds Direct is cheaper for small orders.

                        All of these sites have given me great service.

                        -Real seeds
                        -Seed parade
                        -Premier seeds
                        -Moreveg
                        -Baker creek heirloom seeds (US site offering lots of weird and wonderful stuff, but bear in mind the postage, only $3.50 but still an extra cost)

                        ......and of the 'big' companies I've found DT Browns to offer a good service. Though the rest I've never had problems with.

                          Presently the main one I use is Moreveg.
                          They do smaller numbers for a lower cost, many are 50p and 60p per pack.
                          They do a good selection and if it is for a garden the number of seeds per pack is lower. Getting 250 seeds may seem fine but if you use say 30-40 only then a lot of waste.

                          Just planted out 2 rows of overwintering onions from them and I basically have more then half left. At 50p a pack I don't mind, if I had paid £2.50 for 200 I would have considered it all a waste.

                          Depends what you plant and how you garden, on an allotment perhaps not the best but buy 3 or 4 varieties of whatever instead.
