Has anyone ever ordered any seeds from this company in the UK? They deliver quite cheaply to Ireland and the prices are very low compared to waht we pay here

You should look at brown envelope seeds in Cork. I bought seeds from them this year so hopefully they will be good.

have"nt tried brown envelope in Cork, yet, just one example, Marshialls and Bakker in England, Shirley tomato seeds, England- 25 seeds- 5to6euro, Garden center in Rosscomon-5seeds-5.50euro. This rip off crap has to stop. I want to spend my money here. When I brought my seeds back to the center I was told to pick three packets free. How many people had bought them not knowing? Can anyone highlight other examples? And please don"nt come back with that old chestnut about wages and rent ect, ect, that has nothing to do with the amount of seeds in a packet. it seems to me that the supplier and garden center have worked out that if the amature gardener wants to plant 25 tomatoe plants he"ll have to buy 5 packets! 30 odd euro! now is"nt that a nice little earner! Sorry about the rant, just sick and tired of being screwed from Leinster house down, even to my bloody sceptic tank!

I completely understand what you're getting at tunnelsofhens10, Take at look at Brown envelope seeds in cork. I got 25 tom seeds for E2.50, can't be bad to that!

Also look at the real seed company in Wales. Both companies sell heirloom seeds which have been grown in Ireland or UK, plus they incourage the customer to save seeds to keep these varirties alive. THIS IS A PRACTICE WE SHOULD ALL BE DOING!!

If we start saving seeds we won't have to buy in as many and we're also growing with proper seeds and not the modified seeds that are coming into the market more & more.

Check it out!!

I think we're all quoting personal experiences and I get great service and quality seeds from Dobies in Paignton. I never go anywahere else.

On saving your own seed, I always save Runner Beans, Broad Beans and Peas for the following year but just buy one packet of each in case I do something wrong. If anyone wants to study the subject properly, there's a book called 'Seed to Seed' by Susan Ashworth (ISBN 0-9613977-7-2) that goes into all aspects of seed saving.
