View Full Version : Where can i get seed potatoes blowback2004 28-07-2009, 12:44 Does anyone know where I can get some seed potatoes (Second croppers) that I can plant now. I have looked on lots of websites but they all seem pretty expensive to me and the postage really bumps the cost up. If I could fetch some from around Sheffield I thought this might keep the cost down. Do I just need to go to one of the garden centres? Thanks Dave Bonjon 29-07-2009, 12:01 Does anyone know where I can get some seed potatoes (Second croppers) that I can plant now.

Thanks Dave Wilko's crystal peaks might have some, but TBH its a bit out of season now, they may have Christmas seed spuds in. manta gte 29-09-2009, 19:44 can any one recomend any where for next years crop, earlys and main crop thanks Bonjon 30-09-2009, 11:58 can any one recomend any where for next years crop, earlys and main crop thanks I usually just use wilko's. They usually hit the shops around feb IIRC, never had an issue with any of wilko's seeds. They also have about 10-15 different varietys of seed pots available. They will also start stocking onion sets soon iirc.
