I have recently moved in to town and have no access to any form of garden, I am also in the middle of moving again so my potted vegetables are struggling. As such I can not sell vegetable plants or seeds at the moment. When I get set up again I will list everything on my For Sale page, hopefully we sort everything out soon as I miss growing and selling vegetable plants and seeds.
I have had a few people ask me where to buy seeds or they have asked my opinion of different companies so I thought I would write a post about some of them. Some of these companies have bought seeds from me in the past, some I have bought seeds from, others I have heard about from other people. I have probably forgotten to include some, if I remember them I will try to add them later.
Please note that I am not affiliated with any of these companies and that the views expressed are based on my personal experiences. I am in no way liable if they do not live up to expectations. This is based on past experiences and they may or may not treat you better or worse than they have done to me in the past.
Useful seeds http://usefulseeds.com/
Range: Limited (for now, but increasing) but what he does have are rather rare and/or amazing
Based: VIC Australia
Prices: Reasonably high, but you can not buy many of these varieties anywhere else and the quality is excellent so the high prices are more than justified
Seed numbers: Good
Service: no idea as I have never bought from him but I know him and he is a good guy. He has given me seeds in the past and they were of very high quality. I assume he would provide excellent service as he loves what he does

The Dwarf Tomato Project http://dwarftomatoproject.net/Releases-SH.php

Seed Numbers: Good, about 20 seeds per pack
Service: Excellent, Patrina bred many of these varieties and wants them to be more popular. She is willing to answer questions and offer advice.

Diggers club
Range: Great but sometimes they rename things or make erroneous claims of exclusivity to appear better than they are. Descriptions of varieties are often embellished
Based: VIC Australia
Prices: High to extremely high, postage cost is unreasonable for smaller orders
Seed Number: Extremely low, but it does vary
Service: Dreadful. They have sold me out of date seeds as well as bulbs covered in mould and then tried to blame me when they failed to sprout! They have also sent the wrong seeds and getting replacements or refund from them was a nightmare. Hopefully this changes as they are one of the best known heirloom seed sellers in Australia

Service: Great, they even include extra seed packets in each order
Ebay
Range: Varies from time to time
Based: All over the place
Prices: Varies a lot
Seed Number: Varies a lot
Service: Varies. Beware that many seeds sold on Ebay are for things that do not even exist (such as multi coloured blue roses) and they are stealing from you. You will get seeds, but by the time you grow them and work out what has happened it will be too late to get back your money. I have also bought some great seeds from excellent sellers through Ebay. Please do your research prior to ordering anything from Ebay
