Took a quick look and they sell two packs of seed potatoes for £5, not many to choose from though.

I did buy some Red Baron onions and a pack of Shallots.

If you have the courage to wait, and don't mind which varieties you get, B&Q normally reduce their seed potatoes to 25p or 50p a bag later on.

These reduced seed potatoes will probably have "sprouts" 6" long or more.Just break them off and new ones will form......they always have for me anyway.

My Wyvale last week had sacks and sacks of bagged seed potatoes. Lots of varieties to choose from too. Earlies, lates, mains etc
