still waiting for mine when I ordered them it did say not dispatched until 29th of Feb still waiting ........................

Just to say my order arrived today.  Quality was very good.

Ordered mine at the end of Nov through our allotment as we got them a bit cheaper, have only just received them all, the quality wasn't too good either, won't use them again could have got better and cheaper at local garden centre.

I know it's not always easy for some people to get to a local potato day or even a garden centre but the problem with online ordering is that you really have no control over the delivery date and if it happens to be minus 10 and they leave them outside you're screwed. You also have to accept the quality of the tubers they send or start all over again.

After attending the Caldbeck potato day and having a choice of over 100 varieties I will certainly not be ordering online again. We also have a stallholder in the local covered market who stocks a good range from late January so I can actually see what I'm buying.

The colour pictures in the catalogues look nice but you can't beat hands on!

DO agree with the hands on.  The seed potatoes are always more expensive than our nurseries because of P&P too.
WE are lucky to have several good nurseries around that stock a great selection of seed pots at a fraction of the price. Lots of places like B&Q etc stock them too.
Never use T &M any more because of several of the previous comments. Have also had really poor standard plants as well. I tend to use Mr Fothergill and DT Brown. Have always been really pleased with speed, service and quality.
