    They all seem pretty dear, but then i have always had 100% germination, and only need a couple of plants, so maybe not too bad. I like mini munch - but, as you can probably guess, they are the tiny ones. You get so many on one plant that we find it hard to keep up. Cucumber sandwiches anyone ????

    I have bought Beth Alpha this year £1.49 for 60 seeds and free postage.

    When I want to start peppers off, I just buy one I fancy in the supermarket and sow the seeds, they always seem to come true.

    I get Marketmore from Poundstretcher 2 for £1 at moment and 20 seeds. Planted 8 last week, 7 have grown.

     

  • I once bought broad bean seeds from The Range, the packet cost 99p, there were 5 seeds in it.

    I bought a packet of Sungold F1 tomato seeds. I know they are f1 so will be a bit more expensive. I paid £2.99 for a pack which should have had 15 seeds in. When I opened the packed there were 3 whole seeds in it! image £1/seed!

    In France seeds tend to be sold by weight and not by numbers of seeds in packets, me thinks that's a UK thing...you get alot more for your money with more seeds in a packet than you could possibly grow for instance... 2g of tom seeds...I'm still sowing then 3yrs later and there are loads left.
