Wilko's again ! anyway its cheap so I shop there    

They are doing raspberries, redcurrants, and blackcurrant plants for £1, in their "right£price range".  Don't know how good they will be but I've bought a redcurrant to give it a whirl.

And they have seed pots in but I cant remember the price of the big bags but Pink fir are 10 tubers for £1.90

Good guess, good guess!

Leicestershire people - it's worth checking out Brookside Nurseries in Anstey. Last year seed tatties were £1 a kilo, including Pink Fir Apple & Sarpo Mira.

Onion & shallot sets, £1.79 a kilo & peas £2.99 a kilo.

Big advantage is that they are all loose, you can select the ones you want and if you need 17 spuds for a row - you buy 17 spuds!

Richy when are the onion sets on sale  

Depends on your store but very soon, mines not even got the stands out for them but the bigger 1 I visited today had got the stands out and ready but no onion sets only the small bags of things like garlic etc.

If you have a local lottie shop it's well worth checking that out as they seem to be very cheap, well ours is.

cheers richy,  I will have a look over its about 20 miles away i think. so dont go often as i would like.  B&Q is closer so will also check them out.

our allotments dont have a hut or sales or anything like that yet but they are just in the process of starting a committee etc.

Potatoes, onions and shallots were on sale at B & Q in Leeds yesterday when I visited, so they are probably in all of their stores. I noticed one type of potato was Desiree but didn't really have a good look.
I'm really lucky because we have a allotment shop and I've ordered some potatoes and onion sets through them at amazingly low prices
