I have used Diggers and Green Harvest but I haven’t bought seeds in a while because I still have quite a collection.

the first time you order they will assign you a member code, and then you just quote it the next time you order. It just means you are not on their list yet.

ok i found a catalogue form them and have asked for a new one. Bluegreen where did you get your progation mat from do you have a greenhouse which you raise Ur seedlings in or how do you raise them.

I can’t remember where I got my first one, but I got another one last year from GE. Our cat now has the first one under his basket to keep him warm in winter :D

I have a little green house that is just some shelves with a cover. Not a walk in one. I use it in there when I am propogating seeds in cool weather.

I’ve used green harvest too and they’re good. Very quick with delivery. So are Diggers but i’m not a member anymore. I found their stuff was more Southern climate.
Eden seeds have a great selection too.

the heat mat for seeds is outside in the little green house. I have an external powerpoint to plug it into.

It’s OK to use more than one company – gives you more choice.

o ok, i may be able to set it up in the shed on the steel work bench (or metal work bench which dad calls it)

i was going to put some bird netting over some poly pipe but then i thought i wouldn’t work as a greenhouse.

Look into making a coldframe VG. You can use recycled materials. I see you are pretty good at making stuff.

what would i be best to use on the outside?

what would i be best to use on the outside?
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Clothing. It’s too cold to be naked.
Do you know what a coldframe is?

OK. So that would be the best question to have asked then.
Hangon, i’ll find some pics.

I haven’t used them for a while vege but I don’t think you need one. You get a number when you buy something so it’s probably just for their records if you’re already a customer.

Eden and Green Harvest are sort of connected. I think the Eden Seeds guy founded Green Harvest before moving on. I have sometimes received Eden Seeds in a Green Harvest order.

Eden has cheaper seeds.

select organic is in a town near me

You might find Eden in some of the nurseries too. I don’t really know what the difference is anyway because I think Eden are organic anyway, and they have a much bigger range than Select.

i still haven’t found a source that will post the seeds i’ve been buying mostly lately. and i still maintain that these seeds are the best value for money. also these seeds are veg varieties not usually found here, and have produced very well for me. it’s the italian brand big seed packets, with about a thousand seeds, for the price of usual seed packet.
