== Seed Catalogues ==
This is a work in progress...
Please feel free to add any of your favourites that I might have missed, and any comments or reviews of the sites listed.
Cheers,
Bupster.

=== Alphabetical list ===

;*[http://www.alanromans.com Alan Romans]
:Potato mad. Also (slightly limited) range of seeds at just 50p a packet.
;*[http://www.organicseedsonline.com Association Kokopelli/Terre de Semences]
:An activistic organisation providing an amazing open pollinating range, especially if you join and have access to their full list, their catalogue is a beauty, bed time reading of the highest quality. Seeds are not cheap but are excellent.
;*[http://www.edirectory.co.uk/chilternseeds/pages/index Chiltern Seeds]
:No pictures but very entertaining descriptions of a good range of flowers, fruit and vegetables, including an enormous selection of wildflowers. "Very reliable, lots of unusual veg seeds, and they give you *loads* of seeds per packet." - fluffygrue
;*[http://www.cnseeds.co.uk/ CN Seeds]
:Supplier to commercial growers of herbs and salads, but they sell to the public, too and offer a few things you don't see elsewhere.
;*[http://www.dobies.co.uk Dobies]
:Long-established supplier of seeds and plants
;*[http://www.www.dtbrownseeds.co.uk DT Brown]
:"Excellent seed suppliers that work out fairly cheap." - Sandersj89.
;*[http://www.edwintucker.com Edwin Tucker]
:"Very very good seed supplier, especially good for spuds, but I am biased as my family have used this outfit for over 50 years." - Sandersj89.
;*[http://www.fothergills.co.uk Mr Fothergill's]
:Very wide range of seeds in useful categories.
;*[http://www.exhibition-seeds.co.uk/acatalog Exhibition Seeds]
:For the exhibitionists amongst us.
;*[http://www.hdra.org.uk Henry Doubleday Research Association (now Garden Organic)]
:Heritage seed library. Different range every year; members can choose twelve, of which they receive their top six plus a lucky dip.
;*[http://www.italianseedcompany.co.uk The Italian Seed Company]
:Italian seed newcomer - currently (Jan07) selling Italian seeds at a £1 a packet; prompt delivery, but see also Seeds of Italy (below)
;*[http://www.kingsseeds.com Kings]
:If you have an allotment, you probably get most of your seeds here. Kings have a deal with several allotment societies - so check before you order online.
;*[http://www.mammothonion.co.uk/ Mammoth Seeds]
:W Robinson's Mammoth Vegetable seeds. Sounds like you can grow your own woolly elephant type animal.
;*[http://www.meadowmania.co.uk Meadowmania]
:Organic herbs and vegetables and, peculiarly, horse paddock grass mixtures. Should you like your manure fresh.
;*[http://www.medwynsofanglesey.co.uk/ Medwyn's prize vegetables]
:Medwyn Williams has won many Chelsea prizes for his veg - this is his seedshop
;*[http://www.molesseeds.co.uk/homepage.htm Moles Seeds]
:Another big supplier to the large scale grower - probably of interest only if you have a need to buy cheaply in bulk.
;*[http://www.nickys-nursery.co.uk/seeds Nicky's Nursery]
:Not a particularly pretty site but a good range, especially of chilli peppers, and reasonably priced.
;*[http://www.chileseeds.co.uk The Chilli Seed Company]
:Does what it says on the tin.
;*[http://www.organiccatalog.com/catalog The Organic Gardening Catalogue]
:The first stop if you're gardening organically with a huge range, but can be pricy. Commercial arm of the HDRA (now Garden Organic).
;*[http://www.plantsofdistinction.co.uk Plants of Distinction]
:Mail order only - the most attractive seed catalogue you'll ever own. A pleasure to browse.
;*[http://www.vidaverde.co.uk The Real Seed Catalogue]
:'Real' seeds from a firm that started on a Cambridge allotment. No hybrids. Many heirloom varieties. Reasonable prices, generous quantities, and customers are encouraged to save their own seeds.
;*[http://www.readytogrow.co.uk Ready to Grow]
:Suppliers of a range of rare and unusual seeds including chilli seeds, heirloom tomato seeds, banana seeds and exotic fruit seeds.
;*[http://www.thecuttinggarden.com Sarah Raven]
:Very pretty website but outrageously expensive.
;*[http://www.secretseeds.com Secret Seeds]
:Rare and unusual seeds. Organic vegetables and herbs, though not all that rare or unusual.
;*[http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Seeds-For-Success Seeds For Success]
:Quality Vegetable Seeds at a good price, have a large range of tomatoes
;*[http://www.seeds-by-size.co.uk Seeds by Size]

:Major seed supplier.
;*[http://www.seeds.thompson-morgan.com Thompson and Morgan]
:Another major supplier, T&M often have special offers - the current season's offer is your most expensive packet of seeds free. Dangerous, if you ask me.
