Has anyone received their mail order spuds yet?
« on: January 17, 2013, 12:12:31 »
I know it is fairly early yet but just wondering if anyone's had theirs yet, I've ordered some from JBA and T&M? Can't remember what altogether, I'll have to go and look at my order.

No idea, I hope not I think JBA is careful when he sends but who knows with  T&M

Kestrel are nice, not grown them for a few years for some reason though.

I e mailed tuckers and he sent a lovely e mail back. He said that the cold weather would ruin them so they are looking after them and will send out when the temperature improves, he hopes from the end of the month

I got my Sarpo Mira and Desiree from T&M about 10 days ago.   According to their website, JBA are out of stock.

Good to hear

I ordered from JBA and T&M quite a while back so I hope they still have spuds for me! I think on another thread JBA suggested he was not taking any more orders until he cleared the back log. So he may well have some to order in a little while.

Harlequin and rattes from T&M came last week- others to follow when I rang -  a bit early for me to start chitting
