For a beginner, is this a reliable supplier of good seed etc. If you know
of a better one let me know. Thanks.

I agree with Sam, Marshalls is OK.
Germination is good, they specialise in allotment (veg) gardeners, prices
are competitive, orders arrive as they should.

Other UK seed merchants I could recommend personally are Unwins and Tompson
& Morgan.

However I would suggest you also look at Seeds of Italy (Franchi are the
oldest seed merchants) as they seem to have a lot more seed in each packet
than most UK seed merchants which is good if it's something you want to
grow, lettuce for example.
