Autumn Veg Planting
Need some help from all you experienced gardeners! I have a half plot allotment which I got at the beginning of the year and have successfully grown a few bits and bobs over the summer. I really want to get going now and I want to put in some brassica plants, but I have just rung up a couple of garden catalogue companies and they have run out!
Does anyone know of any companies that still have brassica plants for sale, or if not, what can I sow now and get some greens in the spring?!
Thankyou!

Don't know if garden centres / DIY sheds sell brassicas as plants, if so they should be reducing them by now. If anyone's seen them I'd be keen to hear too, as I've had a poor showing from sprouts this year!0

Just been looking for brassica plants online and came across someone selling them on ebay (20 at a time). Seem quite reasonable on price. I've emailed him to if there's any discount for buying more than one lot at once, and what happens to postage costs if you buy more than one batch. I'll post a reply here when I get one.
Never know we might convince him to do a MSE discount if a few of us buy some!
Whoops - Forgot to put the seller on! http://stores.ebay.co.uk/FARMER-ARNOLDS-BARN0 -
another good place to try is the local market or a car boot sale. I saw various brassicas at both of these at the weekend

I have to add that I have used Arnolds farm about three or four times this year and they are great. Plant are a good size the parcels are well packaged and they are posted out quickly. Only complaint I have is that they do not put a "live plants" sticker on, so the postman takes them back to the depot and I have to wait 48 hours. Despite this hickup with the postie, this the plants are fine.The sign of a wasted life is a tidy house, Welcome to the chaos!0

Don't forget to ask other allotment holders who will usually have a few spare going!I'm mad!!!! :rotfl::jand celebrating everyday every year!!!0

Had a reply from Arnolds Farm and postage is capped at £10 anyway. I responded asking if he could do anyone who mentions this discussion a special deal he responded with "yes i could sort something out".
I'll email back and try and negotiate a discount, but I guess he needs an idea of how much we're likely to buy collectively. I'll start a new thread too, let me know if you're interested!0
