Hi there, just an enquiry, can 'joe public'  buy cultra seed potatoes for allotment growing.
If so any idea who may stock them.
Many thanks

I've not come across them in England - they appear to be more common in Ireland, I think.
I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days all attack me at once...

They are on the Dundry nurseries stock list, but they have none left

Sorry, not much help I know, but perhaps if you look early in the new year, you may be able to get some.

Hi,
There was a photograph of Cultra on their site but it would not come up, only the text!

I have their lists for some years past, they have not stocked it since 2008, so you would be unlikely to get it next year, though it is worth a try!

They hold their potato weekend on the third weekend each January!

Ps I hold on to all sorts of useless junk, that is why I have their lists! ;)

Cheers!
STOP, and smell the roses!
