This must be the best shop in the world.. I've just spend twenty quids on MILLIONS of onions, spuds, artichokes and various seeds. I had to stop shopping because I was buying stuff for the lottie I don't have yet

Cannot wait to get this damn lottie so I can go back to my fav shop in the world.....

Hi sadgit

I was also in Wilkos this afternoon and saw the same, and the seeds are buy 1 get 1 free, and they are only 39p a pack.  But then I got wondering just how good their seeds etc are.  

Do you get what you pay for with seeds and the like (eg poor produce)?

Has anyone used Wilkos stuff before?  Was it any good?  

Cheers
Alan

Oh by the way I'm new here.

Will get the key to my allotment this sunday.

Hope you don't mind having me around... I will probably have lots of questions.....

Hope the weathers OK for you on sunday!

welcome.. I bought the johnsons seeds which were 2 for 1, I didn't get any cheaper seeds, apart from the own brand leeks and peas.

*sigh* I need to chase up my lottie.. no word about it since my application was posted. *sigh*

I hear what your saying muntjac.  Settin up will cost a pretty penny.   We only have 1 x fork and 1 x spade and that's about it.  Oh, and bought a greenhouse a week ago.  

I think it was an old guy who had the allotment but died recently.  He still has loads of stuff in his shed.. but most looks like junk.  Who knows what I'll find underneath it all...... :?

cheers

Sob,sob...noWilkos... :cry:

We tried Wilko's when we went to Spalding last week, but there were no potatoes or onion sets in yet.  Got some seeds and yes I have had their stuff before and like anyone's some grow and some don't, but like muntjac said Johnsons seeds, different packet, only cheaper.  Someone on an earlier thread said about Netto's seeds being 19p a packet, but even if only half of them grew okay, they'd still be a bargain!!!!

At Wilko, I got 3 packets of beetroot (OH loves his beetroot!)
2 packets carrots, another summer cabbage, spring onions and some more leeks!

Sob,sob...noWilkos... :cry:

Looks like Wilkos are well rated on here Annie...

[GrannieAnnie]

Yeah, but poor old Annie, would like one to open up near her!!!!

What's your nearest Wilko's Annie???

I'm sure someone could buy some stuff and send it to Annie.  There is one local to me and several within driving distance.

I`ve just Googled and there is a store about 20 miles away,too late I have ordered my potatoes and shallots.Haven`t gone through my seeds yet though.

Are there any Wilkos in London? - I got some nasturtiums in the 99p shop yesterday
