For those of you who, like me, do not have a large supply of vegetable seedlings - because there was no way that I thought we would have the stunning breakthrough Ed achieved - I have found what seems to be an excellent site that could supply all your needs for the types of plants that would be going in to the ground in the August to November period.
Have a look at www.vegetableplantsdirect.co.uk - I have had a chat with them and there is no issue with availability of supply - i.e. they will have plenty !.
I did check the larger operators (Suttons/Dobies, Marshalls, Thompson-Morgan, etc) and as vegetable plants to them are a sideline - they are either out of stock or have minimal amounts left.
The above supplier only supplies vegetable plants, the issues will be; how much of your plot will be ready; by when; and then how much of your plot do you want to use for over-wintering crops.
Note - when you order you can indicate when you would like to receive the order - which makes planning easier.
Me ? - I will be ordering a goodly supply of Kale, Sprouting Broccoli and some cabbage. The rest of the plot will be covered in a variety of green manure.
Hope the above helps.
Mark
