Buying seeds online

I have failed miserably with seeds bought online. There are no nurseries here that sell seeds.
But my desire to have flowers in our garden by sowing seeds has not died I keep thinking may be this time I will be successful - why not give it another try.
May be the suppliers now have fresh and potent seeds that will spring surprises. Either I have to give up my craving or take a risk and order for them once again
What say?

@allknowing There are other garden centers, but they are not as close to us as the one in the Mall.

@allknowing that to seems like a great business idea, but you can just plant the seeds and take care of them

I do not buy seeds online as I know they will be rubbish for me.

I don't know if this can help you but I found this site,
One of the biggest challenges for urban gardeners and farmers during the lockdown has been the lack of options when it comes to sourcing good quality

I have bought seeds in the past, but they're not much in quantity. I remember getting it free once from bureau of plant and they got tons of it.

Look for a good nursery online. I don't like to order from sites like Amazon for seeds

That would have been the best but these nurseries do not sell seeds any more

Are there no reputable seed suppliers there?
I generally buy seeds from one of three long-established seed suppliers, these businesses have been around for decades. Two of them sell seeds through outlets such as garden centres but they also sell by mail order (with the traditional type of paper catalogue in the post, or through their online store).

No. That is the main problem Locally available seeds would have been the best choice and years ago they were available. I am tempted to give it a final try

@Fleura There is not much of interest around here. Mostly perennials are seen around

@allknowing I can't believe there isn't anything for home gardeners! What do other people do?

Not many are interested in gardening and that could be the reason why nurseries do not sell them any more.

Do you save seeds from your plants each year?

@allknowing Maybe if you bought seed from a garden shop they would be more reliable.
