I got all of mine on the internet from The Organic Gardening Catalogue (http://www.organiccatalog.com/catalog/) and The Real Seed Catalogue (http://www.realseeds.co.uk/). Both of these are great sites with interesting varieties of vegetables, and reasonably cheap too:)

3.30 sounds expensive for a pack of tomato seeds, if you have focus DIY in your area, you can get all the vegetable seeds you will need for a 99 pence per pack..
i buy mine from various websites too be honest with you, and B&Q places like that. i have bought seeds from all the links below and never had any issues or problems EVER.

you can even get plant seedlings now "plug ins" instead of seeds you can buy a tray of your favourite vegetable seedlings and just pot them on and grow em :) i may do that with Brussel sprouts and just buy some seedlings instead of growing from seed :)

Wilkinsons rocks for seeds! I got my tomato ones from there last year and they grew very well.:GreenThumbs:
I dunno bout the pound shop ones...if they're just seeds then they should be fine, not too sure about bulbs though!
B&Q are alright too, although they're a bit pricey.
Riz, are there any more seeds left from the giveaway?

I got my tomato seeds from B&Q, but planted them at the wrong time of year, was a bit late for the sunshine.
This year i've bought my seeds from Netto for 19p a packet!!...they are Money Maker Tom's that are known to be good all rounders and they are already 2 inches high.

I try to use seeds from the actual fruit/ veg as much as possible. Its much cheaper, because for example for me to grow over 30+ tomato plants, I used a single tomato which came in a pack of 6 for pennies! Or chillie seeds from the actual chillie itself. Bell peppers from the actual veg, potatos from themselves (stick one in the ground and watch!)....and if you do buy seeds, then make sure you also spend autumn collecting all your seeds from your plants for the following year so evetually you never need to buy any more seeds lol! :p
