I have spent most of today trying to buy main crop seed potatoes but everywhere local is sold out, whats the best place to buy them on line?

Thompson & Morgan are still advertising.

I always buy mine from Thomson and Morgan and never had a bad batch yet. Plenty of variety and manageable amounts for the small plot. Mind you I only plant earlies as I live in the East of Scotland in tattie growing country.

I used T&M this year and it was not a good experience.  Won't ever use them again.  Last year I got them on eBay.  There's still a good selection there today.

I've just come back from my local 99p shop where there are plenty of seed potatoes (Charlotte, Wilja, etc) as well as onions and shallots. Pound shops should be worth a look if you haven't tried them already.
Lesson for life:
1. Breathe in     2. Breathe out     3. Repeat

Thanks for the advise, I had a look at the Thompson & Morgan website and will be putting an order in tomorrow.  :)

I've seen a few peopleon my local freecycle offering surplus chitted spuds- you could try there?

Our local Wilkos still have them ;)
When weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it. If it comes out of the ground easily, it is a valuable plant.

yep our wilkos still have them too.

Might be worth asking on freecycle - my neighbour must have the best part of 50 kilos of seed spuds in the shed still (no, I'm not joking).
For myself I am an optimist - it does not seem to be much use being anything else.

I think it was around £16.49 inc P&P, the potatoes cost £3.69 for 20.
