I haven't grown Jazzy before SueA but I had some given to me grown on an allotment and really liked them

I've grown them for a few years now grindle & they're usually very reliable & taste good.

I'm still waiting for my seed potatoes grindle, I ordered them from D.T.Brown just after Christmas & they've put the delivery date back to 1st Feb. for some & 9th Feb. for others, your Jazzy seem to have come pretty quick.

they were ebay SueA I'm still waiting on the ones from Parkers though. Just ordered seeds from Chiltern seeds as it doesn't look like I'll be going to a garden centre any time soon

It seems as though lots of people are having to buy online again as a few sites I've been on have got sold out items already grindle, I'd have to travel to get to a garden centre & wouldn't want to do that at the moment. The only problem is you don't always know what you're getting online unless you buy from a recognised company, I bought some black tomato seeds from either Amazon or ebay last year & they were nothing like the picture, completely different shape & none of them ripened, they were hard as bullets & I ended up throwing them away.

I know what you mean, if I buy from ebay I usually make sure it's a company by looking at the seller and seeing if they have a website, so far I haven't been disappointed, no chance of going to a garden centre as all ours are not classed as local, or even a necessary journey

That was disappointing SueA, I bought a Valotta bulb from ebay a few weeks ago and it was from an individual person, but it's a lovely plant - not very big but nice and healthy. I suppose I was lucky

I think it is just a case of trying to be careful isn't it grindle & Eli, there are lots of genuine people selling online but sometimes you're just unlucky & it's not too bad if it's only a pound or two, I do check out the feedback & ratings normally but took a chance on that one as I couldn't get any black tomato seeds anywhere at that time.
