Allotment Shops

Hi

I would be grateful to know whether any allotment shops in Coventry and the surrounding area sell seed potatoes individually and whether they allow associate members to join even if they do not live within that area.

Hi PT,

I think our man will sell them individually and we don't care as long as you have money You ask Jacob Marley

If you go into nuneaton in stafford street there is a nursery shop next door to the Fishmongers he is open 6 days a week he close's over Christmas and New Year when he opens up in the new year the Potatoes are in stock all Scotch about 40 varietys plus onion sets shallots all loose buy as many or few as you want all sold by weight and peas and bean sold by the half pint glass full how about that for going back in time and his stuff is good jacob

That sounds fab, JM - thanks for letting us know.

Hirons in Perry Barr, north Birmingham also sell seeds pots, shallots and onions loose, but don't seem to have a very big range of varieties.

Just a footnote to my previous post if any body go's to the nursery shop in Nuneaton take some sticky labels and pen or pencil with you because not only is it self service it is a brown paper bag jobby my trouble and strife go's shopping in nuneaton weekly and three weeks ago she bought 30 onion sets from there just enough for 1 row @39p a bit different to £1.99 for 50 from garden centre's and non wasted and if you go in on the right day you might meet me or nick the grief !!! god help ya hope this helps

Halwyn Nurseries

This it..?

Did you say he wont have the pots and sets in till after the new year..?

[Hazel at the Hill]

To be fair, you are not likely to get lost around Nuneaton.

Not sure whether the chance of bumping in to NTG is an incentive to go there or a cautionary tale...?

Hi

I went to Halwyn Nurseries last week and got my seed pototoes.

I met a very helpful man who advised me I could buy as many as I liked and did not need to buy 3kg, which I thought I did. Thank you

I could not beleive the amount of different varieties and would recomend a visit.
