Depends when you need them but it might be a good idea to get in touch with Harrogate autumn flower show as the national vegetable championships are held there & there exhibitors grow to humongous proportions.
Or tge National Vegetable Society of Google Medwyn Williams he might help.

hi Snowdrops
thank you so much for that, ideally need as soon as possible but only a few of each, then a bit later in the year will need some more.

also can i just search national vegetable society for contact details for Medwyn Williams?

thanks again

Yes just search for medwyn Williams, he is synonymous with giant veg, then search again for National Vegetable Society. Good luck
