My wife was looking for some squash seeds earlier this year and found the
variety she wanted was only available from the USA/Oregon . They took quite
a long time to deliver (4-8 weeks) but she says they were quite cheap
compared to UK prices. She thought others might be interested..

I got some seeds for free off the free seed site I posted the link to
a while ago. Can't get any cheaper than that.

Yes this USA place has been sending my wife some freebies. She said
something about getting more than her original order was worth. No idea what
she plans to do with them all.

I'm a new allotment holder and this year I bought a lot of
seeds from Woolworth and had some good results.
They were cheap compared with other suppliers.

I bought some seed from a couple of American firms this year and both
times the seeds were delivered in under 1 week from ordering, and very
fair postage charges.

David do you not have to have an import licence? I wanted to send M&S
biscuits to Oklahoma and was struck dumb by the massive amount of
paperwork I would have to have in place if I decide to send them.
(They are particularly prized over there - seems they don't have that
type of thing at all)

Yes, we send quite lot of stuff all over the world, US imports are the most
restrictive.

I bought a load from Lidl, they all grew, well apart from the ones killed by
me, dug up by the dogs, scratched out by pheasants, or eaten by rabbits.
