Anyone know where you can buy (preferably organic) seed potatos, onion sets? Whether a specialsit supplier or a garden centre? I have tried all the viveros and an agricultural supplier in and around Antequera but willing to travel for the good of the veg patch!
Any advice appreciated.
Source for seed potatos?

You might be a bit early for seed potatoes. We normally get ours around easter time, try the local greengrocers as well.
You might be a bit late on the onion sets we got ours in before Xmas from the local market.
If you try in Loja it has a large garden/ pet supply shop nr the Gran Capitan bridge. If you cant find it ask for Hnos Cuesta or Agrohens.

For those still wanting them, both red and white seed pots are still available in Agroplus in Alhaurin de la Torre - see previous post from Country Boy - got 2 year old asparagus crowns there too and onion sets , but not the usual mini dried onion you buy in the UK, but small plants grown from seed.
I expect the costa outlets are more geared to the ex-pat's strange demands than the campo shops round my way!

Our locals do grow potatoes for personal use, so I asked one where to get seed potatoes from - result I was given more than I needed, a lesson on when to plant and a lot of stick about the Jack Russell I was walking who happened to be wearing a coat. (Not ours I hasten to add - we were dog sitting 'El raton con el abrigito' for a friend!)
