Seed sites

 

www.moreveg.co.uk --> "excellent" internet seed source. Small quantities (eg. 3 courgette seeds per pack), so cheap and practical for the likes of us.  Have used seeds from them for last couple of years and germination rate is very high. Very helpful proprietor, prompt delivery (when Somerset is not flooded!)

Highly recommended. Website has photos of the crop so you get to see what you will be growing whilst ordering. 

 

Nicky's seeds (http://www.nickys-nursery.co.uk) --> used to use this company very regularly, however webpages are not as good as the above with lots of additional stuff to wade through, in addition quantities (and hence prices) larger, so have not used as much of late.
