That sounds fab, JM - thanks for letting us know.

Hirons in Perry Barr, north Birmingham also sell seeds pots, shallots and onions loose, but don't seem to have a very big range of varieties.

Just a footnote to my previous post if any body go's to the nursery shop in Nuneaton take some sticky labels and pen or pencil with you because not only is it self service it is a brown paper bag jobby my trouble and strife go's shopping in nuneaton weekly and three weeks ago she bought 30 onion sets from there just enough for 1 row @39p a bit different to �1.99 for 50 from garden centre's and non wasted and if you go in on the right day you might meet me or nick the grief !!! god help ya hope this helps

Seed Pots..

Jacob, do you know the name of the shop, i would like to find it on yell.com.

Also pukka.tukka, do you know the Organic Gardens at Ryton ... http://www.gardenorganic.org.uk/index.php

Well.... on Sat 2nd (members day) and Sun 3rd (public day) of Feb 2008 they have a potato day, you can buy individual seed potatoes at about 16p each, they usually have over 100 varieties, many organic available.

To Jacob Marley...............

Halwyn Nurseries
7, Stratford St, Nuneaton, Warwickshire CV11 5BS

This it..?

Did you say he wont have the pots and sets in till after the new year..?

**Hazel at the Hill** · 23-10-2007, 08:08 PM

To be fair, you are not likely to get lost around Nuneaton.

Not sure whether the chance of bumping in to NTG is an incentive to go there or a cautionary tale...?

Ahhh..

Hi

I went to Halwyn Nurseries last week and got my seed pototoes.

I met a very helpful man who advised me I could buy as many as I liked and did not need to buy 3kg, which I thought I did. Thank you

I could not beleive the amount of different varieties and would recomend a visit.
