BIOCARVE - Discount on seeds

The only catch is that there is a fixed standard shipping fee of Rs. 75. But it is offset by reasonably low priced seeds for vegetables. The other positive is the categorization of vegetables into those that are ideal for summer(like Bitter Gourd, Bottle Gourd, Capsicum, Cucumber, Okra, Long Melon etc.) versus those that can be grown in winter(Beans, Brinjal, Peas, carrot, Cabbage, Broccoli, etc.). The site also sells Gardening Tools and Manure.

The site features their seed processing facility equipment. Overall, an impressive website with a variety of reasonably priced  vegetable and flower seeds.
