They'd probably send me new packets but I just can't be bothered dealing with them or any of the companies in that group any more.
RE: 2022 - Seeds & Stuff I've ordered/bought/acquired - Farendwoman - 31-03-2022
I quite agree - given my experience with wrong things sent, dead things sent, damaged things sent, things that never thrive sent - I can’t be bothered with them anymore either.
I know that T&M, Dobies and Sutton’s are all the same company. Can anyone help me add other “names” that fall under the same umbrella? I think that Woolmans might also be T&M by another name- am I correct???

Don't know about Woolmans but Van Meuwen & Organic Gardening Catalogue are part of the BVG group with T&M etc.
There's a thread about recommended or not seed suppliers at https://gardenandgossip.org/showthread.php?tid=930&highlight=dobies

Here you are, FEW, all about the BVG group. https://www.bvg-group.co.uk/our-brands
Woolmans not part of it.

RE: 2022 - Seeds & Stuff I've ordered/bought/acquired - Garrett - 06-04-2022
Ordered some seeds from Seed Parade after getting one of their email offers over the weekend:
Tomato Black Cherry 59p - realised I hadn't sown any black tomatoes this year so decided to try this one again
Basil Italian Classic 30p - I'd run out so needed some seed
Courgette Arena Polka 36p - I grew this yellow courgette last summer and really enjoyed it, F1 hybrid so needed new seed (got 12 seeds in the packet)
The rest were freebies and all things I didn't already have seed for:
Kale Thousandhead
Rocket
Sweet Pea Parfumiere Mix
Sweet Pepper Californian Wonder
Tomato Tigerella
I also picked up Garden News magazine today with Calendula and Godetia seeds.
Just when I thought I was all done getting seed this year!

I've never heard of Godetia flowers before, nor have I ever seen any in person! They're beautiful!
