I am on their mailing list and now subject to temptation.

Especially, thinking of buying some yellow courgette plants because
I've tried to buy from local sources and grow from seed for the last
few years and have ended up with no fruit or green fruit.

So having an on line order for yellow fruiting courgettes seems a
good way to have some come back.

The concern is delivery of poor quality plants.

Have people had good experiences with Marshalls?

Yes I think they are good but a bit pricey now. This year I bought my
seed from Dobies who are cheaper (probably less seed in the packet.)
I have been a customer of Marshalls for about 25 years and have
always been happy with their products. The only plants I have bought
from them were asparagus crowns - still doing well.

Just a general query - have any of you bought seeds from Tuckers or
from Nicky's Nursery? I ask because Istr a germination trial a couple
of years ago showed that both sold seeds with a good germination
rate.

You'll see our name on the Tuckers site but that's because we have a
small plant sales area there, not because we sell seeds!

I have bought from Tuckers, but only because everywhere else such as T&M,
Suttons and Marshalls etc. were 3 times the price.
Parkers are good and cheap....read economical. And reliable IME,
I have no idea how the big 3 seed companies price their products! Almost
twisting.

Baz

Does that mean you didn't continue to buy from Tuckers because the
germination rate was poor, Baz?
