Despatch Updates

This information below was updated on 12th March 2010

Seed Orders
Seed orders are currently being delivered within 3 - 5 working days.


Seed Potatoes
The majority of our potato order have now been despatched. Please continue to be patient, you will have your potatoes in time for chitting.

Vegetable Plants
Extra Early Brassica Plant Collection - Instead of despatching next week as I had originally planned, it now looks like the plants will not be ready for another couple of weeks.

So, unless there is a dramatic change in the weather that helps speed up growth, we will not be sending these out until week commencing 22nd March – still within the time frame of mid/late March stated in the catalogue but towards the end rather than the beginning. Given the current state of the ground in most peoples’ garden this should not cause any problems.

Onions & Shallots (Sets/Bulbs)
Onions and shallots are now being despatched. (Excluding heat prepared sets, which will follow at the appropriate time for planting as soon as they leave the treatment rooms.)

Garlic Bulbs
Spring Planting Garlic Bulbs are now in stock and are being despatched within 3 - 5 working days.

Fruit Trees
Although the frost has now come out of the ground, it does mean that the ground is rather wet so lifting is proceeding a bit more slowly than we would ideally like. (Please allow between 10 and 14 days for delivery)

Please note: The above information is for use as a guide and occasionally some orders may take a little longer. We will however do everything in our control to get your goods to you as soon as possible.

I am also a new customer and i would like to take this oppertunity to say how impressed i am with the service. Your catalogue was by far the best i looked at with much more information about the vegetables and when to plant and harvest than other companies. I was very pleased with the speedy delivery of my seeds, potatoes and shallots. I was just pondering when my fruit canes and courgette seeds would arrive when voila, the information is easily accesible on your website. It is so nice to be kept informed by a company for a change. Thankyou for providing he information and expertise to allow me to get organised for the coming growing season!!
