Seed Suppliers
Seed producers used to produce an annual printed catalogue in which the latest varieties of pansies, roses, potatoes and tomatoes could be found. Now, the internet means that seeds can be bought not only at a plant nursery or supermarket but online as well; which means the varieties of seeds for sale are being constantly updated.
Seed-buying habits have changed over the last ten years. Many gardeners now use the internet to shop around for the best deals, rather than ordering from their favourite catalogue every year, or visiting a nursery. However, seed companies also vary greatly: some keep prices down by listing cheaply produced varieties rather than the latest developments, so they offer value rather than excellence. You will still produce a crop from these seeds, whether it be flowers or vegetables, but perhaps not such a high quality one. Organic, non-modified old varieties of plants are now popular amongst gardeners.
Depending on the producer of the seeds, the quantity per packet is different for each variety, and the instructions on the packet may very. Seed counts are approximate and to be used as a guide only; in most cases seeds are measured by volume or weight. In terms of viability, batches of seeds are independently tested for germination. Seeds are stored in a temperature and humidity controlled environment right up to the day they are dispatched to ensure the best chance of germination for your flowers and vegetables.
Many seed retailers make a point of selling older, traditional open pollinated non-hybrid varieties of seeds that have no chemical treatment, and no genetic engineering. As the price of organic, pesticide-free food increases, these seeds are becoming more in demand. Growing your own vegetables from seed has become a popular pastime and a boost to many people’s health, too.
