I'm consious that I want to get them from a specific place as the ones i got from Wilko's last year were a total dissappointment and the small local charity nursery only have a short stock!!

Ta!

[arugula]

You'll see them in seed catalogues by now, but its too early for the shops.

[Coach]

Earliest December for catalogues, January/ February for shops!!!

[prakash_mib]

can you pre order in your charity shop? so that you wont be left with dissappointment.

My lotty association shop's deadline for spud orders was this weekend.

We get the spuds into the shop in, I think, early Feb (it was late this spring owing to the cold weather), and there are always a few popular varieties available for those who didn't place specific orders.

If you have your seed potatoes by January that is normally soon enough. Believe it or not but March is normally the busiest time as people just buy them to plant straight away.

I ordered my seed potatoes online the other day, guess where from? ^^ 

[Iain@JBA]

You will probably want them next week to plant down in Devon

Still arguing with myself over varieties but an order will be winging its way to Iain very shortly.

I was off down the lottie this morning planting my spuds and earthing them up - then I woke up!.....

hmmmmm
first on the list for the next year are sow the onion seed (under heat/light) in December....
thats for the competition ones.....

[Iain@JBA]

Thanks Solway Cropper but it could take some time to decide as I have so many varieties.

Cooperman welcome to my world when you start dreaming about spuds. Serious frost here today.

I buy my seed potatoes ("tatties" here) from a highly recommended merchant in Orkney. I have had their potato catalogue for a week and phoned my order through yesterday. I was the first order to go into their book for the new season; so keen am I.

LOL me too... i ordered a few weeks ago after weeks of deliberating over varieties! :-)
But you don't need to start chitting until Jan at the earliest, so plenty of time yet. I wouldnt expect garden centres and shops to start stocking them until next year.

[Iain@JBA]

Some garden centres want them next week!!!

They want them so that they can have them during the Christmas holiday period.

I think it will be another nightmare year for delivering potatoes.

Glad you all have made up your minds about the varieties you are growing
