All information here is related to PRE ORDERS & Dispatch information in relation to dates.
Winter Onion Sets
Senshyu Yellow Onion Sets AND Red Winter Onion Sets now dispatch from the 1st week of October. We used to dispatch for September however recent years September has been far too warm to plant which can affect the crop. So all winter onion sets now dispatch from the 1st week of October and is processed in date order i.e Earliest order to Last order. Your onion set will arrive please be patient.
Snowball Onion Sets dispatch the LAST week of October to the First week of November. You can not sow these any sooner so we do not dispatch them any earlier.
Spring Onion Sets
Sturon Onion Sets AND Red Karmen Onion sets dispatch from the end of February to Mid April while stocks last. We do not dispatch orders before or after these time frames.
Shallot Sets
Red Sun Shallots dispatch from the end of February to Mid April while stocks last. We do not dispatch orders before or after these time frames.
Eschalote Shallots dispatch from 1st week of October until December. We do not dispatch these shallots after this date they are for winter planting only.
Again for Onion Sets & Shallots please be patient we do not sell the same quality onion set you can find in Wilko! Just because they have stock on display now does not mean they are ready to go in the ground.
Garlic
All garlic is dispatched from Mid October UNTIL March while stocks last. Demand has been high for garlic in recent years so availability can be limited.
Garlic is dispatching from 15th of October in DATE order.
Another surge in garlic demand we are dispatching pre orders in date order i.e April - December. We know everyone is keen to get garlic in the ground however it is a really wet autumn which is no good for planting garlic. Orders as always will be with you ASAP
Garlic Dispatch Times
15th - October until 15th December for Winter Planting
15th Feb - 5th April for Spring Planting
Times sometimes vary year on year.
Why can you pre-order?
We allow people to order garlic and onion sets to secure stock sometimes 4-6 months in advance for peace of mind that you have stock set to one side and is waiting on delivery once they are ready to leave our warehouse.
PRE ORDER ON SEEDS
If you have ordered seeds with your onions, garlic or shallots please note we now send the order as ONE due to the ever-increasing costs of postage. If you require your seeds sooner then please place TWO orders.
