This morning a T&M seed catalogue arrived and I was a bit shocked by
the price of canes. They're asking £22.99p + £4.49p p+p, for 12 bare
rooted!! http://preview.tinyurl.com/3x55csx
I know I paid £6 (in Feb '09) for 10 canes rooted in soil, from a
local DIY/Garden centre. Have prices shot up by this much in 2 years?
Apparently not, a quick Google showed another online site charging
£9.99p for 10 canes and £3.99p p+p.
I'll need to buy lots of veg seeds online, as the above mentioned gdn
centre has a limited range. I know 'price isn't everything' but I'll
be shopping around carefully next month.





I have had great service from Parkers:-

They are very competative on price = cheap, and punctual.

They also sell seeds but I like to buy mine localy.

Hope this helps, and wish you the best for 2012.
