The message
from Broadback contains these words:

I know it is a little early yet to order, but I usually buy mine from
Dobies or Suttons, however their range is a little limited. As this year
mine have been devastated by slugs I thought I try a couple of those
recommended by Bob Holden, any ideas on suppliers of a wider variety?



Edwin Tucker has a good range and reasonably priced. I have always found
them very reliable.


Do they sell then as individual seeds, or do you have to buy a kilo at a
time, even if you just want half a dozen seeds?

Alan




If you go to a garden centre etc that allow you to buy a bag for a
certain price, such as the one in berkhamstead high street, take a few
plastic bags, labelled and a marker pen. We put two or three seed
potatoes in each back, mark them and put them all into the one big brown
paper bag so we end up with several varieties.
