Seeds.
The seed catalogues are coming through the letterbox again.
With my usual go to, Homebase closing I'm looking at where to get my Seeds from.
Had stuff from DT Brown, Tesco, etc, we have a couple of small garden centres about 30 mins away.

What do you find to be the best make? T&M, Fothergill, DT Brown, Sutton, Raven?

And how do you find the likes of Parkers for plant? Used to get a lot from them a couple of decades ago but not much recently, I find most mail order stuff doesn't cut the mustard anymore.

I use J Parkers for plug plants & bulbs, local nurseries for bigger things.

We had a load of seeds arrive from T&M who had an offer for 89p a packet last weekend.

Suttons have a similar offer until midnight tomorrow (11th Jan)

Last couple of years we've got Gazania plug plants from Suttons or Dobbies when on offer (signup for e-mails to get the offers and free delivery codes) as they work out cheaper than trays from the garden centre later in the summer. You just need the space to grow them on in trays until ready to plant.
