Maybe I should! Mind you I've used their online shop a few times - those placcy greenhouse thingies have been perfect for growing seedlings on !
Popped into our Wilkos this morning and it seems as if they are stocking a lot less gardening stuff this year. Very disappointing.
Got my shallots and onion sets yesterday (didn't buy red onion sets as they didn't look too good)
I do hope your onion sets prove to be OK kippers garden.
A couple of us had serious white rot last year from Wilkos onion sets.
Not proof of course, but as I had never suffered from it in 32 years on my plots, I bought elsewhere this year.
Good luck and report back!

The sets i bought last year were also from wilkinson's and mine didn't suffer. Keep fingers crossed these will be ok
I was in Wikos in Hartlepool the weekend and got myself some cabbage and sweetcorn seeds, they also had 3 kilo bags of spuds for under three pound, only about 10 choices of spuds mind. ;D ;D ;D
Had my onion sets from Wilcos for the past 3 years and haven't had any probs with them,just got my 6kg of Maris Piper from them again this year as well
Nipped to Merthyr Yesterday morning got Shallots, Onions. Early Spuds and Maincrop Spuds. I passed the seed display and although I had all my seed through NSAGL I was tempted - Did I yeald to temptation? Sorry I could`nt stop myself.
