Jap onion seeds were sown in August, gonna fill in gaps with setts from the garden centre this month 8)
Baggieboy, you should find them at a proper garden centre - they may only just have come in this week ???

Baggie,

Got mine at local garden centre, Was looking at catalogues on the net and they wanted £6 pound or more for 10 garlic cloves. cheaper to buy as I want. I think some of these seed companys take advantage of our addiction to grow things lol

Our Wilko didn't have them in yet.

Sowd some seeds in seed trays which are just coming through too. Did think about doing dirst in ground where they are going but as its near over grown grass would be a sod to weed.
