Site review – Vegetable Seeds

Friday, February 19th, 2010

This is a great website that sells seeds and offers you useful advice on growing veggies.
vegetableseeds.net for Vegetable Seeds – VegetableSeeds.net offers fantastic value for the highest quality vegetable seeds in the UK. Over 300 varieties with next day shipping.
As well as having a huge range of different seeds, they have packs of seeds chosen to be perfect for the allotmenter! Ideal for someone as indecisive as me who finds it hard to choose which seeds to buy.

I love the idea of all 15 types of tomato but know I’d need a much bigger greenhouse. That’s a massive choice of tomatoes though – so you could pick a favourite as well as a couple you’d not grown before. Impressive range of seeds available.
