Aye Rufus,

We were on here earlier today and whilst some varieties have sold out, there appear to be plenty of alternatives, including F1 Hybrids.  ;D

There may be up to a 3 week delay, but if all else fails, give it a go.

We prefer Autumn King and they grow well on our sandy soil in deep beds.

Let us know how you get on.

Happy growing, Bill

Spot on Rufus,

I hope the roses bloom and the veggies grow well for you.

Chives that I have split and lined out, along with the Jerusalem artichokes that have been lifted cleaned and then lined out are all doing away nicely. But, the ground with us, as we are in the shade of a wood is still a bit cold for sowing seeds. Just need to be patient a wee bit longer.

Good health, Bill

Same here Rufus and my dear wife is champing at the bit to get started! However, the temperature is only 8 degrees C with a keen ESE blowing and it isn't warming the soil. Patience my friend! "The sun will shine tomorrow."  ;D

Good health, Bill
