Maybe I should! Mind you I've used their online shop a few times - those placcy greenhouse thingies have been perfect for growing seedlings on !

Popped into our Wilkos this morning and it seems as if they are stocking a lot less gardening stuff this year. Very disappointing.

Got my shallots and onion sets yesterday (didn't buy red onion sets as they didn't look too good)

I do hope your onion sets prove to be OK kippers garden.
A couple of us had serious white rot last year from Wilkos onion sets.
Not proof of course, but as I had never suffered from it in 32 years on my plots, I bought elsewhere this year.
Good luck and report back!

The sets i bought last year were also from wilkinson's and mine didn't suffer.  Keep fingers crossed these will be ok

I was in Wikos in Hartlepool the weekend and got myself some cabbage and sweetcorn seeds, they also had 3 kilo bags of spuds for under three pound, only about 10 choices of spuds mind.  ;D ;D ;D
MAY THE CORN BE WITH YOU.
