They've got them in stock apparently. First year plotholder. Got some seed pots on the way from Kings but want more.

With Poundland is it cost over quality or are their seed potatoes ok?

Should I pay the extra £3 for quality or are they all same?

Wouldn't buy them yet anyway as seems to early to me but do any plotholders have any experience of poundland seed pots?

Cheers

Whilst not having bought any from there myself, I cannot speak from personal experience, but can say that having seen the postings on here from others, they have been quite pleased with him.

You'll just have to keep your fingers crossed that they have been stored correctly during the recent cold spell.

Have you tried sourcing loose seed spuds at your local nurseries?

I've done a bit of Googling, and this is not a million miles away from you:

And with Medwyn Williams as guest speaker, it has to be worth a visit!

Awwwww yes!

I had some earlies left in the shed last year from poundland and planted them in July and managed to get a nice crop from them a late little surprise was nice.

There will be nothing wrong with the potatoes at Gordale. I was there last year and it was a great event. They have most of my varieties there so there will be alot of choice.
They sell them loose or prepacked.

We are going to this from our Lottie Society, with an order for 300Kgs of Seed spuds   
Medwyn is giving three talks on each day

to answer the original question I bought Pentland Javelin from poundland last year and had a great crop

[digalotty]

yes they are ok i would grow them again no problem

[Kristen]

I've read quite a number of posts where people have not been wow'd by the flavour of Pentland Javelin (not grown it myself, so this advice is worth precisely what you paid for it!)

[DD.]

On the other hand, PJ are one of my "must grow" earlies.

[Kristen]

Perhaps I should try a few then

We do Arran Pilot for first early - then are fast growing, and I have seen lots of posts with people ratign their flavour, not sure if they are as fast as Rocket (which I also read lots of people growing but I have not tried them) and Swift (which I don't remember reading anyone growing, but JBA says they are the fastest to mature but the way I read their description they sound tasteless!)

Wish I had read about Potato Open Days before I had bought my Seed Tubers - it would have been fun to grow one-or-two or this-and-that and taste-test

I'm waiting for my local nursery to post their list on t'interweb. 99 varieties this year.

Hi all, just got back from Wilko's in Gravesend with me seed potatoes £2.98 for 3KG thought that was very good, they all look in very good condition.
Pentland Javelin
Maris Peer
Disiree
and a few Pink Fir Apples to try.
That will do me.
