Just to add, I got two bags of onion sets today, £1 each, red (Karmen) 250g and white (Setton) 0.5Kg from WIlko's.

Like an idiot I didn't pick up any tatties. Will go back and get some tomorrow. Good value from that store.

I've also heard that the larger the seed potato the bigger the crop :!:

Think I heard from somewhere that it's not the size, but what you do with it

This happened last year,all you lucky people getting bargains in Wilcos,I don`t have one near so rely on mail order,which as Shaun says are pricey,or the garden center which has ever decreasing choice of veg since it was taken over by a larger chain.

went to my local wilkos midweek, there still shifting the Christmas stuff so not all the veg stuff is out yet,

whats the betting by the time i next get there the tattys have been and gone
