Gordon Riggs has a huge nursery Todmorden way and they are cheaper there still because this is their main base of operations. I prefer this one to the other one because there is so much more under the polytunnels and greenhouses. First year on the allotment my toms took ages to germinate and I went to Riggs and got a small pot of tom seedlings for under a £1 and they filled my greenhouse!

Lucky you. In 'The Smoke' we only have the usual rip off merchants; poor quality plants at sky high prices. Call me mean or what, I always grow from seed, takes a tad longer but I am happy in the knowledge that I have not been ripped off.

Know what you mean... that's if you can find the fruit or veg seedlings in the first place!

People talk of London being a fantastic place, but not when you're a gardener after a bargain (I think anyway)

The best place I've found locally is the Gardening Club in Crews Hill, but that can sometime be hit and miss
