  • Delay in seed delivery

    Anyone else having to wait for seeds to arrive this year? Ordered seeds and seed potatoes from Marshalls on 7 Jan and still not even been dispatched. Was wondering if it was an issue like we had last year where everything took ages to arrive.

    I'm currently waiting for some Pennards seed potatoes, onions, plus seeds. Was just checking today when I'd ordered as it has been more than 3 weeks without even the despatch email.

      I've only just made a seed order but every site is inundated with orders, I think. I'm also in an area where the post has been very patchy for a month or two, due to staff shortages. So it's difficult at both ends.

        DT Brown just updated that they're behind for spuds and onions, combination of higher demand (people wanting to grow their own in lockdown - good thing) and working in a Covid safe environment in their despatch (good thing). CAn see why delayes happen. Mine came yesterday, thanks DTBrown for your efforts. All spuds now chitting merrily.

          Suspected it wasn’t just one company. Can live with a delay on the potatoes as wouldn’t be putting them in for a while but would like the seeds soon. Would mind less if i wasn’t getting emails from them constantly trying to encourage me to buy more seeds when they clearly can’t keep up with the orders that already have. Oh well will just have to be patient I guess.

            I ordered a selection from Seed Parade last week and they arrived in a couple of days. I've never used them before, but there were generous portions in the packets and they aren't expensive. Hopefully they grow!

              Most of the order arrived today. All the seeds and one of the seed potato types. Bit on the stingy side with the seed potatoes Only 11 in a 1kg bag but at least they are here. Hope the other seed potatoes come soon as they are the first earlies.
