Don't think all the new seeds are in yet. However, the prices will be going up in December. I've bought seeds they always have.

Over the past days I've taken advantage of various free p&p offers as I only wanted 1 or 2 pkts from each supplier.
Cosberg lettuce
Courgettes Tuscany and Parthenon
Tomato Akron
Plus the basket I've got pending in Prem seeds which I'm still dithering over

Where did you find Parthenon seeds. Jen? I'm panicking that I won't have any for next year!

Seed megastore, but they've not yet arrived so I'm not counting my chickens yet. I've not bought from them before.

Chiltern have them listed but out of stock

It looked like Real Seeds had most of the things I wanted to get from there when I looked last night, so my order has gone in!

Seedmagastore have let me down, should've known. Ordered on 1st Nov, supposedly shipped on 3rd, now on 14th when I ask when I can expect delivery they say they will replace but parthenon is out of stock. I'm tempted to cancel whole order out of pique.

Then being told what they ordered wasn’t available. Sounds a little suspect to me.

That's another company getting a Thumbs down.
There aren't many Parthenon stockists at the moment. They seem to have moved on to "Sure Thing" which is also Parthenocarpic. Cheapest I've found so far is JustSeed - haven't bought any yet.

I agree, lesson learnt. I told them to replace parthenon with more expensive variety and re-despatch. They won't like that. Watch this space.
