does anyone know if wikos have got thier spuds in yet?(i know i could check myself but u know how it is!)
Ours had on Wednesday... :)
There are threads on here going back a week or two that people have bought spuds from there.
My local only got them in over the last few days so it might be easier for you to phone your local as they all seem to be different.

The store in Hitchin had them a couple of weeks ago along with their onion and shallot sets plus other goodies such as rhubard, asparagus, horseradish etc.
got mine last week but only Maris Piper in 3kg bags , went into for something else ang 3k bags had all gone must be all the A4A people buying them :D :D :D
Got a bag each of Rooster and Desiree this morning from Crossgates in Leeds. Certainly much cheaper than anywhere else, but not a great range. No Charlotte, Kestrel, Red Duke of York...
Given the prices all the catalogues are charging this year, I think I may have to just get what i can find rather than what I want :(
nowt at our yet :(

Caroline, Crossgates have certainly had Charlotte and Kestrel in as I got Charlotte a couple of weeks ago from Crossgates and hubby got me some Kestrel yesterday.
Mind you, you are probably looking for the large bags whereas I only buy the ones with five tubers in as I'm growing in containers.
Give me a shout next time you're in Crossgates as I'm only in Garforth, you can call in for a coffee ;)
Jo.
Have just got 3kg Desiree at Lincoln Wilkos; they also had some Maris Peer and something else left but seem to be selling out fast. They still had plenty of white onion sets (no red) and shallots.
Thanks jo, and thanks for the invitation :D- yes, i was looking for big bags. Maybe they'll re-stock and I'll time it right next time!
well i got my spuds on sat from wilkos:)
Picked up rocket, maris piper and desiree, didnt have any cara so will look around in the net week or two,and picked up my onions to:)
Picked up my onions from them to. The ones i got from wilkos last year produced some fab ones which are keeping really well and strong enough to make a grown man cry and produce nasty after effects lol
