    Hi all,
    Wanted to purchase some seeds online.

    https://www.premierseedsdirect.com/ are UK based and aren't posting to EU yet (waiting on Brexit agriculture talks to be completed)

    Irish Seed Savers is not taking new orders today. - overloaded.

    Any other Irish links?

    I ordered some seeds on Sunday from this place in Wexford, Beechdale Garden Centre and I received them by post this morning.

    Thanks for the feedback.

    I ended up ordering a few things from here https://www.123seeds.com/ - didnt get them yet but they were posted Sun or Mon.

    Might grab a few other seeds from Beechdale (although the navigation of the site is a bit tricky) and some of the seeds have no information about them.

    All Seeds from the UK are Stopped from entering Ireland.
    Be careful when ordering seed when living in Ireland.

    We have had huge success as many tidy towns and rural community projects using Wildflower Native Irish Seed Bombs.
    All their seed is premium Irish Seed.

    Many people are getting caught online when ordering seed from UK sites.

    I got Suttons seeds today in a local shop.

    Peas, beans etc.

    Suttons are UK based and the seeds were packed in 2021 to EU standards.
