Where to buy seeds?

I've made a list of the seeds i need to buy but i was wondering if anyine has used this website??

www.alanromans.com

The seeds seem to be really cheap.

I got £30 of National Garden Vouchers for xmas but i thought i might spend them on something else as the Alan Romans site seems much cheaper than a garden centre.

HI adam, what's there postage charge? as those prices do look good

 

Alan Romans have been around for a while, wouldn't be if they couldn't be trusted? :D

 

Believe it or not... 90pence!

However, the seeds will come in a foil pack marked with the seeds name only. The growing instructions are only on the website.

But thats no problem

 

Hi

Wait,and if you have a Wilko or Lidl near you, get your seeds from them, first class they have been over the years for me!

Some years Wilco has BOGOF,last year it was (I have forgotten), but is usually only during January the offers are on!

Cheers!

 

Just read on another posting Wilco have their seeds in.

It pays to read before posting!

Cheers again!

 

Have to agree with the Wilko's comment.

I managed to buy half of the seeds i wanted a few months ago half price

Didnt know i was going to get an allotment back then!

Also i walked down to Wilkos this morning and indeed they do have the new seeds in, but they wernt on any offers.

Also bnq seemed well priced on their seeds and they had seed patato's on offer

 

I noticed wilco's have the seeds in but as you say there 3for 2 offer isn't on yet, my local one also sells Johnsons but I find there over priced as I have a garden centre near me who seels Mr Fothergills and Suttons at varied but cheeper prices.

I picked up a few packets of the B&Q economy seeds so seeing as they only cost 38p per packet I don't mind too much if they don't do as well but I don't see why they shouldn't.

I shall put my order in in the next week to the site you used, good find:thumb:

 

We're currently doing a buy one, get 2 free on De Ree seeds at The Range, but having said that I seem to have a stockpile of seeds (especially veg) large enough to re-plant kew, so if anybody needs anything in particular, chuck it into the "wants" section
