Seed Banks and reliable suppliers
by Adrian on 16th April 2010, 2:33 pm
The ones I use on a regular basis
I have a good germination rate and very few problems with these guys
Chiltern Seeds
So very good that my wish list grows every time I visit the site... Much to the chagrin of the longsufferingspouse
J L Hudson Seed bank
Possibly the best seedbank in the world - dedicated to disseminating species and saving rare and endangered plants and at astonishingly low prices - again a seed supplier that has engendered a very long wish list..
Annapolis Seeds
Young Owen is a friend of mine, a fine example of youth dedicated to good food and good production - highly recommended..

KIngs Seeds
This is the seed growers I use for a lot of my vegetable seeds as they are very good germination, good varieties and CHEAP packets but with a good number of seeds.
The company includes Suffolk Herbs
Baumaux
This is a French company that has a great on line catalogue. It has a huge variety of seed and some that may be worth a try. It is more expensive then some but the germination rate is very good.

Thank you for the seed company links (especially Kings seeds, Zoe, but also Chiltern from Badger).
Zoe, from now on I won't even try to buy seeds from French companies, as they are so incredibly expensive (except if you buy them from LIDL at 29p a packet LOL). Yesterday I bought 2 packs of green beans here from an ordinary garden centre, 6.50 euros per packet!!! I am not sure that they are so much better (Vilmorin).

We can buy seeds from Lidl at a ridiculous price in the UK - maybe I'll try some next year and compare them with pricier seeds. Less choice of varieties, but they look good value.
