Has anyone any experience of buying veg seeds from USA since Brexit. There is no guidance relevant to amateur gardeners on the Defra website, and their helpline number doesn’t pick up

    Why do you need to buy seed from America? 
    Are you in the UK, or somewhere else?
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....

    I tried to buy from a US nursery twice, but they hit the London Royal Mail depot and never got to me.

    Just tickled me, I googled 'buying seeds from the US' and I got a wall of websites selling marijuana seeds.

    Unsure why you would be looking to purchase veg seeds from the US ?  
    As said, you would need to be a bit more specific as to what you were actually trying to buy and whether or not it would be suitable for a UK climate.

    Perhaps that is why Pauline's profile is listed as "Private" ?
    I hardly think the UK needs US marijuana seeds - we are quite self sufficient in that department :D

    Is marijuana classed as a vegetable?  B)
