I wanted the potato planter that Marshalls used to sell. It's no longer available they say. Is it not strange that it is in the Fruit & Vegetable company catalogue?
Incidently, don't use the F&V company 0870 number to order, it is always a long wait while they rack up their cut, just call 01406 381 362. They will answer 'Eastfields' and you just ask to order from the F&V Company.

I was pleased to receive by post yesterday Marshalls Kitchen Gardener's

The catalogue contains many new varieties of vegetable seeds and plants,
also flowers, shrubs trees, starter plants, etc. etc.

Agreed - Marshalls are still going! They do (or at least used to) belong to
Unwins.

One guy who's been involved with them for many years, Richard Massey (their
Commercial Manager as recently as the beginning of this year), is now
connected with a new company called "The Fruit and Vegetable Company" - I
got a catalogue from them a short while back but sadly have lost it
