I'M BACK. The shelves were full and all varieties were in stock. I also got my onions but the only thing they didn't have was shallots.
Would have taken photos but I can just about make a call on my mobile let alone take a photo on it.  :blush:

I went today...there was only Desiree and Aran Pilot left  :( Im not getting any first earlies, just mains so I hope they get Maris Piper back in, if not Ill go with Desiree (testing the old theory that slugs dont like red skins)
I did get snips, sunflowers and marigolds (to replace the mysteriously disappeared packet)
I only need sweetcorn now and Im done  :D

peapod, get down to B&Q they had Maris Piper and were cheaper than Wilkos: £3 per bag but 2 for £5.
