I just bought some seeds off Ebay - they arrived today! they look great quality (not that I know what Im talking about) but with all the seeds (flowers and veg) you got in some cases double what the gardening shops and branded seeds were offering but for half the price.

I paid just 99p for each packet of seeds! the seller I used was "Premier seeds direct"

Oh that is great to hear Stu! the only think I would say is that they did not include any "when to sow" instructions - but with nice friendly advice on here I reckon we'll all be alright!

Hi again guys & dolls,
I have been trying to find the info on a site that sells seeds in "small batches".
I am sure that the said info is posted on the forum somewhere, the "Boss Lady" i think was the 1 that posted the info, so we should expect an answer from her shortly.
cheers stupo.

Yes, you are right, but I can't remember the name either .
Two other ones for small or different varieties are moreveg and realseeds.
But better wait for the "Boss Lady" to give her verdict


I think I remember now, wasn't it Seeds by size????

Hi again Shetty,
Seeds by size, seems to ring a bell.
The "Boss Lady" should be able to confirm that when she has the time
Its to do with all that "Fame" she has collected with her "Nude Slug Hunting"
Come on Lesley, we need your help, only confirmation required
cheers stupo.

"When she has the time"???? Cheeky devil Paul

Yes, Seeds By Size does sell small quantities of seed but John Size has to be able to guarantee germination rates.

Tim, you would be better to set yourself up as a seed seller on eBay. Lots of people do and make money from it.
