They have them in Wilkos as soon as they shift the Christmas stuff out.

Ours are out at work (garden centre).  They come in just before Christmas, so as others have said, its a space issue for most shops.  As soon as the Christmas stuff is sold off or packed away, out they come  :)

Our garden centre doesn't stock them until the lorry transporting them from Scotland can deliver when the whole journey can be completed, including an overnight stop, when the temperature will stay above freezing.  Otherwise the stock is likely to be affected.  Historically that would be very late January which is about right for me to start them chitting for planting out in April.

Our stock on the allotment trading hut is the same as this, too.

Just arrived home with a kilo of "Lady Crystl" from Dundry Nursery Glos. They specialise in seed pots and have a wonderful selection.
