You should be able to order or buy them online already and if they're not yet, they would normally be in shops very soon.

Poundland have 5 varieties (on their website)

Pentland Javelin
Swift
King Edward
Maris Piper
Rocket

I'm hoping mt local nursery will have their usual choice of nigh on 100 varieties

Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

the ones i saw were pentland javelin, swift seed,king edward,maris piper, rocket

there may have been others but thats the one i recall, 1 pound per bag with roughly 8 in the pack,, not sure if it stacks up or how they will grow but for a pound got to be worth a try

yes , we have them right next to each other here in the high street, not really a fan of pound shops but garden items seems a good buy

Sure wish we had lots of varieties available. Most shops stock only 3 varieties on average, the garden centres might risk up to 6 varieties   >:(

I know we have many more varieties around but none of the shops will risk carrying them in case they don't sell well. It's been their excuse forever.

Don't know about seed potatoes, i've still got this years Valour in,it's been too wet to get them out. I suspect the frost will have got most of them by now although I live in hope that it might stop raining one day giving me a chance to get them up! ;)

Just 1 2nd Early Charlotte , approx 3 early types and 2/3 main Types.

£ 3.98 for 1.75 Kg or £ 6 for two bags
