I've been herb mad for years. Is there something wrong with buying over 20 packets a year then? Sweet Cicely is BEAUTIFUL and one of those herbs that won't germinate from anything but fresh seed so if you want to propagate it, sow it as soon as you have seed. Good King Henry is a field "weed" around here but is actually a very old plant. It was used as a spinach type vegetable. Don't let it seed everywhere though LL or you may rue the day you got it! This is a very good herb seed company..... www.suffolkherbs.com

I found this site earlier www.barwinnock.com/Has anyone else used them before? They seem to have a good range... I've got 8 Lavenders to put into decent pots, 6 mints (although 2 seem to be practising being herbaceous at the moment... or they're dead I'm not sure) and a rosemary so far. I'm wanting to get some Orange Thyme seeds and when I get paid again at the end of the month I'll buy some more seeds from alan romans. I don't earn enough to fund my plant obsession.
