Buying your seeds?

If you used to go to Wilko for seeds, try The Range, they have the Wilko seeds, plus they're own. Range brand only 49p a pack 😊. Worth a try.

Good to know Bobbyt, did you see any onion sets or seed potatoes? I've seen them in the local B&Q but not had good results with their stuff so was looking to go to garden centre instead...

Perhaps have a google for a potato fair.
We normally have one around this time of year in Whitchurch near me where they have a vast array of spuds but also assorted onions and shallots. Good luck HH
Keep digging

You can still buy Wilko seeds from Wilko, the physical stores are mostly gone but they do still have a online store with a selection of seeds and seed potatoes.

Thank you. Some of my best seeds were from Wilko. And the ones that weren't... well only 50p lost. Haven't had a great success rate with a certain top online supplier that sells direct.

Yeah, think I'll wait until my local garden centre gets them in early Feb. Really useful as you can pick as many as you want, and it's priced by the weight. Always cheaper than online options.
