Default next year?

I was just wondering if anyone uses a mail order or online company for supplies of veg seeds or plants etc and also for the flower garden. I am a bit shy of using unknown companies, can anyone recommend companies. This year I have only been as far as my local Wilkinsons store, I rerely make it to out of town garden centres due to lack of transport and caring duties.

I really miss being near a Wilkinson's. I used to get loads of stuff from there when I lived in the north. They don't seem to exist in London

Great I have been waiting for a seed sale. Think I may pop there lunchtime.

This year I brought my seeds from Nicky's seed, Very fast delivery and I even got a few extra free seeds.

Someone has also recommended using Seeds by size. I have not personally used them but think it is great that you can buy just what you want and don't have to have to much left over

Hi MrsG, Thompson & Morgan are very good for plug plants, if any arrive in a bad way or die quickly they will replace them for you.

I use T&M, D.T. Brown, the Organic Gardening Catalogue, Heritage Seed Library for mail-order. My dad used to order from Marshalls (think they are also online these days).
