Good service and a great deal for allotment society members
Good service, they omitted chervil seeds but when I rang the matter was addressed promptly and without quibble. Great deal for allotment society members.
Mixed feelings…
I have ordered from Kings over the last two growing seasons. The seeds are mostly good, though occasionally some have had poor germination. This year's order was badly packaged and only just made it through the post without falling completely apart - hence the 3 stars. I mentioned this to Kings, but only got a holding response, no proper follow-up.
