Allotments 4 All

I've just checked - last year it began on August the 18th... keep an eye out!

http://www.allotments4all.co.uk/smf/index.php/topic,34962.0.html

I had a look yesterday and they were selling them at 50% off. I think they did this last year as well. I think the 50p/packet offer started after that!

Yeah, I reckon that too....I've been resisting the half-price 'til now :-\

Hello

I would look at my look my local wyvale caddington but it burn down end of june, The other wyvale's are cr*p especially hemel hempstead, I will look at woburn sands which is best wyvale around.

I was afraid that I'll be away when their 50p offer comes around, so I called in today to stock up on the 50% off deal. Asked when the 50p offer starts - they don't reckon it's going to happen this year at our local shop because the 50% off take-up has been so good :o

Don't say that! :o :o :o

I'm counting on it! :-\

Me too Deb ........  :o

I normally do it in 2 passes - pass 1 is where i get the varieties that I really want @ half price then second visit to get the ones I'm less fussy about at 50p.

Just got back and to be honest I dont think there will be much left for the 50p offer - maybe the rise in veggie growing has really depleted stocks this year.

perhaps they are just saying that to get you to buy them at the higher price...cynical, moi!!!  :P

Yes that is what I was thinking Barking dog!

Keep your eyes open folks!  I am not sure that I need many this year - but hopefully I will see when it starts and hurtle the 50 odd miles round trip - which will probably make the trip pointless in trying to save money on seeds and paying a shed load in petrol!!

Doh!

The maybe they need to put them out on the shelves  ;)

Yes, where have you been?

and what time do you call this?!

;D

consider yourself scolded!

Any news on this yet?? ;D

Well....

On the website is a section headed 'Half Price Killer Deals'. There's a mixture of things from garden furniture to compost, but also one that says simply 'Half price on selected lines'. There's no further info other than 'see instore for details'

Have a look:

Could this be what we're hoping for?

My nearest one is still a bit too far to just nip to, but if anyone else has a branch nearby, could they have a quick shufty and report back?

I'll pop in today and have a quick recce......  ;)

Just been looking on their website & couldn't beleive the prices for onions and shallots etc - £1.99 EACH.     :o

Who on earth is going to buy them?

I'd noticed that too but following more investigation - the price is for a set - so I guess that makes it not so bad.

Thank goodness for that. I wonder how many are in a bag though.
