I got mine from wilkos. It was a couple of weeks ago though.

Ah they're out of stock

Just plant a few potatos that are sprouting in the ground. Always worked for us, no need for seeds.

We've just had some delivered from Rocket Gardens. Only ordered them a few days ago!

Suttons delivered in their normal timescales here - I placed an order (for seed potatoes and sacks) before the lockdown and it turned up last week.

I've ordered some from Crocus although they've yet to arrive...

In the meantime, we're using a few we had from last year that are chitting.

And supermarket potatoes start sprouting fairly quickly Hmm

Forgive my stupidity here, but what are veg transplants pls? @buckeejit

buckeejit · 04/04/2020 13:47

Veg transplants - just where the seeds have come on to small plant size. Will check those & found a local centre who deliver with some transplants (no spuds though)

Cheers!

Did you have any luck ordering? If you can't get any, can you just plant potatoes from the supermarket? (I have no idea!).

I managed to get some from Sutton's but it was about 2 weeks ago. My Thompson & Morgan order hasn't arrived yet, I really need the seed trays!!

buckeejit · 05/04/2020 10:01

Yes thank you, we've ordered from Sutton's. Paid a very hefty postage but hey ho. Also ordered some things from a local garden centre that delivers so plenty to do! Smile

@buckeejit Zoarsark.co.uk currently have McCain Seed Potatoes in stock!

I've just ordered some :) Only £3.99 too 🥔

I ordered some from yougarden.com last week. I just checked and they still seem to have some varieties available. They havent arrived yet and I have never used before so can't vouch for them but might be worth a look.
