Title: onion sets needed!
Post by: suzylou on September 10, 2005, 18:58:53

Hi all...

I'm on the scrounge in case anyone in the West London area (or someone who would post them!) has any leftover onion sets?

Mine were stolen from my plot this week before I had a chance to put them in >:(

I don't have a whole lot to swap being a new lottie-er but let me know what you would like and I'll see what I can do? :) I'd also be happy to pay postage!

Thanks

I've over ordered again(remember the spuds?), and have some japanese ones and radar ones coming to Tolworth in late September/early October, if you can wait that long.

I don't leave anything worthwhile at my allotment nowadays, which means I have to take the car there every time I go, but we have tea leaves too...

Thanks both of you :) I ordered some from Kings, I think I get 50 which is probably plenty......

Trenchboy, thanks again for those spuds, they are coming up beautifully. Unlike the Juliette which Fothergills sent me, which are doing NOTHING!!!

I popped to Syon Park Garden centre today to have a look and they had onion sets there Â£1.29 & Â£1.49. That garden centre has everything you would want. I'm wanting potatoes but i'm a bit early i've been told & they don't do they Christmas ones.

Oh, that's interesting, thanks! I ususally end up in the Osterley garden centre even though Syon Park is nearer to me. Needless to say Osterley seems to be all about pot plants and borders ;)

I know where I'll be headed this weekend!

Thanks for the offer, but I think I'm okay :) I have some very healthy maris peer and I found my "stolen" onion sets (see another thread) so I'm good.

Thanks again though :>
